Can't remember the story, but Shiva shook the earth and the poor man was left struggling to hold the earth on his arms... (i think..)

Ellora.. Kudos to our guide... Not mentioning his vast knowledge of the caves, he kept up with us vigilantly although he was always in his coughing fits... we were so afraid that he wld collapse any time!

Aurangabad was a spiritual journey for all of us... The work started in the 8th century and continued through the 13th century... The pictures are a mix of the Ellora and Ajanta Caves... Not separately put but I will make sure to label them properly! Hopefully, my memory still serves me correctly...
