Detailed explanation-1: -The Kailasha (IAST: Kailāśa) or Kailashanatha (IAST: Kailāśanātha) temple is the largest of the rock-cut Hindu temples at the Ellora Caves, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar District, Maharashtra, India.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ellora, considered amongst the finest examples of rock-cut architecture, dates back to the Rashtrakuta dynasty, about 1, 500 years ago. Of the 34 caves, 12 are Buddhist, 17 Hindu and 5 Jain. Maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), The Ellora Caves were declared a World Heritage Site in 1983.
