I must confess I sometimes feel ashamed that till a few years ago I hadn't even heard of the Kailasa temple, majestic and beautiful, cut out of a single cliff. Unique in its size. For some reason it's just called cave no 16 at Ellora complex and never used as a symbol of India One hears of Ellora and Ajanta and yet Kailasa is lesser known. Met some other adults who hadn't heard of it. It's a must visit. A full temple complex with a large shivling on first floor.

It's good to see #Mahabalipuram heritage on display today during #ModiXiSummit
