Seeking the Self-ie - Ellora Cave 10

 


The Kailash temple at Ellora is just magnificent beyond words . But it was Cave #10 which I remember most. Sitting under the columns surrounding the statue of the Buddha one can just imagine fifteen hundred  years back when the place was probably thriving with Buddhist Bhikshus perhaps sitting in queues in quiet meditation. 

For the Buddha statue it must be an amusing transformation to have seekers of self replaced by seekers of selfies coming to pay him a visit :)
