The Ellora Caves, that is locally known as "Verul Leni", is situated on the Aurangabad-Chalisgaon road at a distance of 30KM north-northwest of Aurangabad. The name Ellora itself inspires every person as it represents one of the largest single monolithic excavation in the world, The Great Kailasa (Cave 16). 

The visit to Ellora Caves is much enjoyed in monsoon, when every stream is filled with rainwater, and the entire environment is lush green. Looks so much peaceful.

There are over 100 caves at the site. A tourist can plan the visit of these caves according to the time available and depending upon the interest in ancient art. If a visitor has at his disposal three to four hours, then the Cave nos. 10 (Visvakarma Cave), 16 (Kailasa), 21 (Ramesvara) and 32 & 34 (Jaina group of caves) should not be missed. Thus, by visiting these caves, one can have a glimpse of the representative art of Buddhism, Brahmanism and Jainism. If a visitor has an entire day at his disposal, the Cave nos. 2, 5, 10 & 12 of the Buddhist group; Cave nos. 14, 15, 16, 21 & 29 of the Brahmanical group and Caves 32 to 34 of the Jaina group should be visited.

The caves are served as monasteries, temples and a rest stop for pilgrims, but it's location on an ancient South Asian trade route also made it an important commercial centre in the Deccan region. 
At present time, the Ellora Caves, along with the nearby Ajanta Caves, are a prominent tourist attraction in Maharashtra.
