Q & A

What is the Kailasa temple known for in terms of its construction?

The Kailasa temple is unique for being carved out of a single mountain, rather than being constructed with added stone blocks. This 'cut-out monolith' technique is the only example of its kind in the world.

How does the 'cut-out monolith' technique differ from the 'cut-in monolith' technique used elsewhere?

The 'cut-out monolith' technique involves carving an entire structure from a single piece of rock, whereas the 'cut-in monolith' technique involves cutting rock from the front and carving as the work progresses.

What is the significance of the 100 feet tall pillar in the Kailasa temple?

The 100 feet tall pillar is a testament to the advanced carving technique used in the temple. It was carved by removing the surrounding mountain, showcasing the immense amount of work involved in the temple's construction.

How much rock was reportedly removed to create the Kailasa temple?

Over 400,000 tons of rock were removed to create the Kailasa temple, a feat that has left historians and archaeologists puzzled.

What is the estimated time it would have taken to remove the rock using the historical account of the temple's construction time?

According to the historical account, the temple was built in less than 18 years. This would mean removing approximately 60 tons of rock daily, or 5 tons per hour, which is considered highly improbable with ancient technology.

What was the attempt by Aurangzeb to destroy the Kailasa temple, and what was the outcome?

Aurangzeb, a Muslim king, ordered the demolition of the Kailasa temple in 1682. Despite employing a thousand workers for three years, they were only able to cause minimal damage, leading him to abandon the task.

How does the Kailasa temple's orientation compare to other temples at Ellora?

Unlike other temples at Ellora, the Kailasa temple is exceptionally well-oriented with all four cardinal directions, with its entrance perfectly facing west.

What are some of the advanced architectural features of the Kailasa temple?

The Kailasa temple features bridges connecting towers, rainwater harvesting systems, drainage systems, hidden underground passages, secret peepholes, elaborate balconies, and complex stairways, all carved from a single mountain.

Why does the speaker suggest that the Kailasa temple might have been built by an advanced civilization?

The speaker suggests this due to the temple's unique construction technique, the precision in carving, the orientation with cardinal directions, and the advanced architectural features, which seem beyond the capabilities of the known ancient civilizations.

What is the significance of the Kailasa temple being visible from the air?

The visibility of the Kailasa temple from the air is unusual among the Ellora temples and suggests a possible intentional design for aerial viewing, similar to the Nazca lines, with a distinct X mark visible from above.

What does the speaker propose as a reason for the unique construction and features of the Kailasa temple?

The speaker proposes that the Kailasa temple may have been built by an advanced civilization, either from Earth or elsewhere, due to the complexity and precision of its construction that seem to defy conventional historical understanding.
