LORD KAILASANATH OF ELAPURA

The remarkable features that greet the visitors here are a colossal statue of Buddha in setting posture and a horse-shoe window.

There are also well-built two-storeyed and three-storeyed caves that have indeed raised the glory of the artistes, along with the builders. The cave No.4 was called Dotal cave for long, but when the third storey was discovered in 1826, it became three-storeyed and the statue of Buddha is installed in the middle one. The Cave No.12 is three-storeyed and has huge halls and tall Buddha Vigrahas. The topmost storey houses two images of Buddha and the middle one is an elaborately carved shrine, grand to look at. There is an imposing 11 foot high Buddha statue in the first storey with huge halls in front.
