Ellora: Abode of the Gods | Wonders of Ancient India, Ep. 4 (Part 3)
Beyond the great Kailash Temple, lie 14 more Hindu rock-cut temples, ranging from gigantic pillared halls to intimate meditation spaces. These temples attract far less visitors than the other more famous caves at Ellora, yet they possess exceptional artistic quality and decoration.
Built between the 6th and the 10th century CE, these rock-cut temples contain refined carvings inspired by the great Hindu epic poems of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
Thousands of tons of basalt were removed for the construction of these temples, whose vast halls were hollowed out from the living rock of the mountain.

Persians turned that into hind. And stop acting like buddhism is some seperate religion. Its just another sect of dharmic religions. Cry all you want you'll never escape the truth

    How come all the depictions of Buddha show him to have knots in his hair like to depict an African? All art of antiquity show the African in this way so as to be able to make that clear. Because only the African and her people have this unique hair. All other races have straightened hair in comparison. In fact no other being on the planet has the AFRO hair. Monkeys. Dogs. Any animal you can name have straightened hair..non have AFRO.

    • @UnchartedRuins

      The Buddha was a historical figure who lived in the 7th Century BCE, an Indian prince by the name of Siddharta Gautama. There is no evidence and indeed it is the first time I even hear the possibility being mentioned of the Buddha being of African descent. In any case, I doubt curly hair are an exclusive prerogative of people of African descent. This style of representation may also have symbolic reasons. Early portraits of the Buddha from the Gandhara region were heavily influenced by Greek Hellenistic art.
