Motion in Stone
The Kailasa temple in Ellora blows your mind away with its sheer scale and elegance. And it's not just the individual sculptures inside the temple, the roof has its own share of intricate carvings. 1500 years ago, stone artists were skilled enough to depict motion in stone. Pictured here is a lion on its prey, symbolizing both the strength of the faith that moved mountains and build this gargantuan temple as well as valor of the king who funded the temple.
