The Wonder of the World No One's Visited
It's a new city for us. We've traveled to Aurangabad, 300kms inland from Mumbai and we've stumbled upon a magnificent rock-carved series of temples called Ellora Caves. This expansive site is just incredible. It's barely known or spoken of, yet it's deserving of World Wonder status. Many archeologists who have excavated here also believe it should be a new wonder of the world. In our opinion it rates much higher than some on the "new" list. Come along while we show you 24 hours in Aurangabad, our first time here!

Islamic invaders tried to destroy it but failed because of its sheer size and strength so you see they destroyed most of the faces of the deities in the temple. The hatred for other religion in Islam is unfathomable.

The place where u started is called Chatrapati Sanbhaji Maharaj Nagar and the entire district goes by same name.
The double pricing is actually the correct price. The Indian government subsidizes for the Indian public hence the half price. For foreigners it is the full price.
Thanks for the video, I also read about this Magnificent Kailash Temple in Ellora few years ago. Its also has some late addition of Buddhist and Jain temples. This type of temples exist in various places in India. I don't think, like indic religions(dharma) there is any place exists where different religions exists together in the same place without war.

For your information, as many people from other countries think that Buddhism is a religion, I wish to inform you that Lord Buddha, originally known as Sidharth Gowthama, is a Hindu King who wished to relieve himself from the bondings of life and started his search for enlightenment. He followed many Hindu rishis of that period and learned the different techniques of Yoga. There is no record that he is critical of Hinduism or relinquishing his Hindu religion. He never declared his enlightenment knowledge as a separate religion. People who followed him after his lifetime created a religion out of it. Poor people. Of course, we Hindus consider him as a Great Human being in the latest human History, particularly myself as any other sages of Hinduism.
It could have been much better only if mughals hadn't destroyed the face of those statues.

@@girlsontheloose1 Yep. British colonisation reduced India with 24% GDP into a 2% GDP. But again one of the main reasons for that getting colonised is the civil war and internal assassinations. But even after independence most Indians were mentally colonised which completely halted the development rate for like 60 years. India began to grow only like in the last 10 years.

No worries, we speak the truth as much as we feel we can. We truly loved the site and thought it is such an amazing piece of history.
there are incidents where when non-asian foreigners see locals bathing at a holy site they do their own version of holy tribute by skinny dipping..thats highly cultural inappropriate..but you can't restrict them the whole site/entire water body... that wont be secularism if you do... so for one of these reasons there's a high entry fees requirement and secondly the low PPP of BPL and lower middle class wouldn't allow them to visit a place of their faith and worship with devotion.. our population is 1.4 billion and per capita GDP is very very low..ppl keep forgetting this time to time when they visit the place.
To understand Hinduism, please visit the Isha Foundation near Coimbatore City in Tamil Nadu State or at least listen to speeches of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, the founder of the Isha Foundation. You can visit the place without any apprehension as it is not a temple but is a yoga Centre. No entrance fees and no charges for food but if you want stay there at night with extra conveniences, you have to pay nominal charges.
Many Muslim invader trying to destroy this temple many Times but failed you can see that statue are broken 😢

Love seeing enthusiasm of a fellow history buff. I was as excited when i first visited ajanta caves. Aurangabad district has many of these caves complexes built during satvahan and rashtrakut dynasty. they are in wilderness away from civilization. But visiting these places in summer is not recommended as it can get very hot and you need to do a lot climbing. However during monsoon or right after that these places are adorn with lush greenery, streams, rivers and waterfalls especially in ajanta. Untouched beauty of nature offers most pleasant experience. Cheers!
