Das Avatara, by Thomas Daniell and James Wales, 1803 Print 17. This cave was started as a Buddhist monastery, but in the 8th Century was converted into a Hindu sanctuary under the patronage of the Rashtrakuta king Dantidurga (c.730-55). It consists of an open court with a free-standing monolithic mandapa in the middle and a two-storeyed hall at the back, the original Buddhist monastery, the walls of which were covered with reliefs illustrating Hindu mythology. |
