MIND-BLOWING FACT 🤯

I came across a reel on Youtube and then cross checked it. Some facts are just mind blowing.There is a temple in Maharashtra known as 'Kailasa Temple'.

  1. It was carved out from the top. Just imagine a 3 floor building with elaborate carvings carved out of rock from the top with over 100's of stone images, pillars and other craft.

  2. They removed over 2M tons of rock in the process.

  3. It took them more than 135 years to finish this job. Just imagine 4,5 generations sticking to the same plan with no blueprint without any technology and with just hammer and chisel, not from the front or bottom but from the top.

It is the most incredible piece of engineering that human beings have done on this Planet.

India is truly a land of wonder but we are the worst marketers.

Ellora caves, part of standard NCERT history textbook, class 6th.

Checkout Buddha statue in Leshan China and Afganistan ( sadly it was destroyed by Taliban), you may find it interesting

While you are it, check out who financed it, when this was built and why. Gives interesting perspectives on politics of the time.

Indians can build that yet can't build livable cities and drive like hooligans. I couldn't less about some religious structure.

It was built 1000 years ago. There was no India, pakistan, nepal etc there was just Bharat. I was talking about human grit and determination. Why are you so pressed ?

Idiot. Go and check about harappa cities. Those were planned cities before your so called western culture arrived.

Not 135 years but they built within some days. Whatever i heard i am saying. May be day cycle was not 24 hours that time
