தலை கீழாக கட்டப்பட்ட கோயில்
பொதுவாக ஒரு கோயிலோ அல்லது வீடோ கட்டும் போது அஸ்திவாரம் போட்டு கீழிருந்து மேலாக கட்டுவார்கள், ஆனால்
இந்த குடைவரை கோயில் மலையை குடைந்து கட்டப்பட்டுள்ளதால், மேலிருந்து கீழாக கட்டப்பட்டுள்ளது.
கழுகுமலை வெட்டுவான் கோயில் தலை கீழாக கட்டப்பட்ட கோயில்.
அதாவது முதலில் கோபுரம், பின்னர் அப்படியே கீழாக சென்று சிற்பங்கள், கருவறை, அடித்தளம் போன்ற அமைப்பை உருவாக்கியுள்ளனர்.
இது
முழுமைப்பெறாத கோயில்
ஒரே கல்லினால் ஆன கோயில் என்பது தான் சிறப்பு. ஒரு பெரிய மலையை ‘ப’ வடிவில் செதுக்கி அதில் 7.50 மீட்டருக்கு சதுரமாக வெட்டி, கோயிலை மேலிருந்து கீழாக வெட்டி உருவாக்கியுள்ளனர்.
It is believed that this monument was established during 8th century by Pandya Maranchadayan king. This is a rock cut cave complex and cut out temple on the style of the Mahabalipuram Shore Temple and cave sculptures. This monument is also nick named as “ELLORA OF SOUTH”.
