Carving Devotion
Ellora Cave 16: the Kailasanatha Temple. 8th century.
An idea that would take 200 years to complete, take 7500 people to finish, with buy-in from 10 generations of stake holders, detailed to a T (a house of god cannot have a wrong cut), 400000 tonnes of rock excavated...
Early in the morning, you can beat the crowds... and the heat as the day progresses...
