LORD KAILASANATH OF ELAPURA

It is conjectured that Kailasanath temple though enshrining one of the twelve jyotirlingas is not so popular as other holy places, for the prime reason that its architecture and sculptural marvels have eclipsed its spiritual glory. Another view held by some other scholars give evidence that Ghrishnesa shrine situated some 10 KM off Devagiri is that much venerated one housing the Sivalinga deemed as one of the dwadasa jyothirlingas. Controversies may or may not establish the truth, but the architects and sculptors have really enshrined that most adorable Lord Siva, the Omnicompassionate in such superb way that this world renowned monument is serving a royal banquet to our eyes and souls. The builders deserve genuine and sincere most reverence for presenting to the world this gem of superb sculptural marvel for spiritual elevation and aesthetic admiration. These caves are most visit-worthy and have virtually placed Maharashtra state on the religious map of the world. Their place in the art world is non-pareil; glory, eternal and cultural appeal, timeless.
