Cave 16, or Kailasa Temple (Hindu)

I was completely unprepared for how amazing this temple is. They took a huge cliff, and starting at the top, they carved this enormous temple which is almost like a city, it has so many intricate structures in it.

Statistics: 200,000 tons of rock were removed, and it is 1.5 the height of the Parthenon and covers twice the area.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow. And it's just one cave of many, I guess.
