Just back from Aurangabad, where I had the good fortune of visiting the famous Ajanta and Ellora Caves... all I can say just now is that I'm spell bound by the beauty of the sculptures at Ellora... I'm adding a few pictures of the trip to give you a feeler of what I saw there... I love history and visting Ajanta and Ellora is nothing short of a dream come true, this is one more item off my bucket list, but just the beginning of a life long romance with Ellora.
Ellora has a pure raw energy that will make you want to come back for more... I for one will be making many, many more pilgrimages so I can pay homage to the rock cutters and sculptors who created something so wonderful out of stone....details of the trip in the next post... watch out this space for more details...
P.S. These pictures were shot on my Blackberry, my trusty camera died out on me (I went mental at Ajanta caves and forgot to charge the batteries)...the quality of the pictures don't do justice to the sculptures... on my next trip I'll be going with a better camera that is for sure...
