Viru enters a worship cave at Ellora

Ellora caves are less elaborate than the ones at Ajanta, but you couldn't tell from this one. The Buddhist caves come in two varieties, worshiping halls or Chaityas and monasteries or Viharas. The Viharas are grouping of completely unadorned cells, each about 6ft X 6ft. Some caves where practically apartment buildings, being three stories high and having 8 or so caves per story.
