PO Name: Ellora Caves

Description: The Ellora Caves are a priceless place out of the history synthesising Indian religion and Indian passion for sculpture. 34 Shrines at Ellora excavated from granite walls are given forms by Buddhists, Jains and Hindus. The Pictorial Cancellation design displays a view of Kailashnath Temple Pillar, Cave- 16, Ellora. The temple created out of nearly three milion cubic feet of stone is proof of Hindu Expression.
