Buddhist caves at Ellora #307017014
Description
These caves are located on the southern side and were built either between 630 and 700 CE,[60] or 600â730 CE.[61] It was initially thought that the Buddhist caves were the earliest structures that were created between the fifth and eighth centuries, with caves 1â5 in the first phase (400â600) and 6â12 in the later phase (650â750), but modern scholars now consider the construction of Hindu caves to have been before the Buddhist caves. The earliest Buddhist cave is Cave 6, then 5, 2, 3, 5 (right wing), 4, 7, 8, 10 and 9, with caves 11 and 12, also known as Do Thal and Tin Thal respectively, being the last.
