Hindoo Excavations in the mountain of Ellora' published by Thomas
Daniell in London in 1803.Ellora is famous for its series of Hindu,
Buddhist and Jain cave temples excavated into the rocky façade of
a basalt cliff. The works were carried out under the patronage of

free-standing temple rather than a cave, entirely sculpted out of a
great mass of basalt. This royal monument was patronized by rulers
