Synopsis

Description

The Kailash Temple at Ellora is considered to be a pinnacle of ancient Indian

art, architecture and sculpture. Built by Rashtrakuta king Krishna I in the

eighth century CE, the temple is part of the Ellora Cave complex near

Aurangabad in Maharashtra. Carved out of rock from the hills, the temple is

dedicated to Shiva. On its walls teem innumerable sculptures depicting gods,

goddesses, animals, birds, men and women. The splendour of these frozen

figures, and the meticulous thought and planning that went into creating this

temple by cutting through sheer rock, is a story every child needs to know.

In this book, which is filled with photographs and illustrations, Tilottama

Shome lucidly explains concepts of Hindu temple architecture, narrates

tales from history, folklore and mythology, and brings to life this magnificent

example of art and architecture for a young reader.
