Hello guys....Recently we visited KARLA
Hello guys....Recently we visited KARLA CAVES, Located in lonavala ( MAHARASHTRA), INDIA.
So here I am sharing the video of this wonderful TRIP.
The Karla Caves are, A complex of ancient Buddhist Indian rock-cut caves at Karli near Lonavala, Maharashtra.
The shrines were developed over the period – from the 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD.
The oldest of the cave shrines is believed to date back to 160 BC, having arisen near a major ancient trade route,
running eastward from the Arabian Sea into the Deccan.
The group at Karla is one of the older and smaller of the many rock-cut Buddhist sites in Maharashtra,
but is one of the best-known because of the famous "Grand Chaitya" (Cave 8),
which is "the largest and most completely preserved" chaitya hall of the period,
as well as containing unusual quantities of fine sculpture, much of it on a large scale.
The main cave, called the Great Chaitya cave, or Cave No.8, features a large, intricately carved chaitya, or prayer hall, dating back to 120 CE.
This is the largest rock-cut chaitya in India, measuring 45 metres (148 ft) long and up to 14 metres (46 ft) high.
The hall features sculptures of both males and females, as well as animals such as lions and elephants.
This Great Chaitya cave, the largest in South Asia, was constructed and dedicated in 120 CE by the Western Satraps ruler Nahapana.
********************************************************************************
The Ekvira Aai Mandir is a Hindu temple located near the Karla Caves near Lonavala in Maharashtra, India.
Here, the worship of the goddess Ekvira is carried on right next to the caves, once a center of Buddhism.
According to the legend, this temple was constructed by the Pandavas during their exile in the forest.
Once when Pandavas visited this holy place, EK VIRA MATA appeared before them. She instructed them to build a temple for her.
