埃洛拉石窟群是我来奥兰加巴德一个原因,而它也确实没让我失望。它们给我留下了很深刻的印象。那个地方由34个洞窟组成,而这些洞窟又分成不同的3类。有佛教洞窟、印度教洞窟和耆那教洞窟。这些洞窟都是人造的,用坚硬的石头雕刻而成,用很多不同种类的宗教饰品装饰着。这3种不同的洞窟是以不同的装饰物来区别的,但是所有洞窟的大小都让人印象深刻。洞窟里有成千上万副雕刻作品,包括各种天神、人类和动物。洞窟的墙壁与墙壁之间都是被雕刻作品覆盖的,而且雕刻成精确的几何图形。洞窟表面都是雕刻成一样的,绵延了一英里(1609米)之长。雨季,小瀑布会喷流下来覆盖整个悬崖。最让人印象深刻的是16号洞窟。原意是把它叫做蒙特凯拉斯,湿婆神和印度神的家。它看起来就像一个巨大、独立、多层级的综合寺庙,但是整个洞窟是用一块石头雕刻而成的,跟其它洞窟一样。大量的石头被移到这里来做洞窟和寺庙建筑,简直能与墨西哥的金字塔抗衡。实际上,移动这些石头就花了好几百年的时间。大概5块大石头用来做成一个巨大的综合型寺庙,外面环绕着一个U字型庭院,里面有很多巨大的雕像。庭院被3层阳台环绕着。寺院里本身有成百上千的动物和天神雕像。如果你的时间只够看其它的一个洞窟,那肯定就该去10号洞窟。参观完那里的一切需要几个小时。那里有家小餐馆,便宜而又美味。服务也非常好。还有不错的浴室。洞窟星期一是关闭的。从奥兰加巴德到埃洛拉石窟群需要45分钟。
The Ellora Caves are one of the Unesco World Heritage sites in India. It is a must visit place in india. Some of the caves in the far ends are poorly maintained but most of it are still intact. Plan your visit as early as possible and try to cover all the caves by Noon as it gets hot in the afternoons. You can drive you vehicles for most of the caves. For Caves 1-14 gotta park it in near the Main parking. Best time to visit is August to December, when the climate is not very hot. The June - July Monsoon time is best if you wanna see the real Beauty of the caves with the water falls all around.
我和家人一起去过埃洛拉。这儿真是棒极了。熔岩洞之多,令我们惊叹。许多外国游客都来埃洛拉旅游。湿婆神寺庙是由一整块儿石头熔岩而成的,相当壮观。当我们慢慢走进去的时候,心里充满了激动和新鲜感。导游也向我们介绍了这些洞穴的历史,据说佛教的很多僧侣都在这些洞穴里参禅。
Architecturer work done which is at left side when you enter is the must watch. You will enjoy the beauty & architecturer beauty. One more thing is on structure which is constructed from top to botton is amezing.
You can see a lot of pictures of Ellora Caves on the website but to see them in person is awesome. The art, the work is just so beautiful that you would wonder how this was done Centuries ago. Dating way back to 2 BC or so.
Did a large circuit in the NW part of Aurangabad. Ellora caves are 30 Kim's from Aurangabad. Scenic drive through brush land and high plateau. The entrance to the caves is right by the drop off point. Entry tickets can be purchased at the entrance for Rs250 as a non citizen. They are Rs10 for Indian citizens.I would recommend doing some basic reading before visiting. Try to get there early to avoid the crowds. There are 2 sets of caves, 1-16 and then 17-29. Start on the right of the entrance at cave 1 and make your way back. Wear comfortable footwear and bring water. Limit the amount of stuff you carry as the day can begin to get hot. I was here in March and the afternoon was in the nineties.Lots of hawkers selling souvenirs. If you do not wasn't them do not engage in a discussion, just say "next time" and keep walking. Highly recommend. The difference between these and Ajanta caves is that the latter are in color and in my opinion even better.
壮丽的一系列佛像,从公元4世纪到11世纪,印度教和耆那教平分了这里的石窟。令人难以置信的保存完好的巨大雕像。最漂亮的无疑是Kailashnath庙,关于这像山一般的石窟群是如何被建立起来的我感到很好奇。这里是一生中至少要来一次的地方。比阿旖陀石窟的壁画要更好近距离欣赏些。如果天气热的时候来这里,记得带水,只有很小很有限的区域内可以租车,另外的地方就只能靠步行了。在雨季的时候情况可能会稍好一些。再添加一个景点,是与Grushneswara和Daulatabad毗邻的疯狂君主默罕默德本格鲁道拉塔巴德的堡垒。如果你已经错过了泰姬陵,你可以去看看这里作为补偿。Bibi ka Maqbara是在用斯巴达混凝土修建以后刷上白漆,而并不是使用大理石建造的。
I could not see much of the place as we reached there a bit late and the place closes at 6pm. Also it was raining that day and place looked even better.
