Where is the most famous Kailash temple located among the cave temples ?

  • A.In the caves of Ajanta
  • B.In the caves of Ellora
  • C.In the caves of Elephanta
  • D.In the caves of Kanheri

Answer: B

The Kailash temple is in the caves of Ellora.

The Kailasa temple (Cave 16) at Ellora was carved from top to bottom out of a single rock in the eighth century under the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I. It is the largest monolithic rock-cut temple in the world.

Ajanta is famous for Buddhist paintings, Elephanta for the Trimurti sculpture of Shiva, and Kanheri for Buddhist caves, none of which contains the Kailasa temple.
