Share from the experiences of students or teachers who have visited temples of the Rashtrakuta period.

Temples of Rashtrakutas period are exquisitely carved. It is an architectural marvel. The Kailash temple especially was carved out of a single rock! Scenes from the Puranas and sculptures of deities surround the walls and pillars. They are called cave temples and mark a glorious history of skilled artists. Most of the temples have gateways, shrines, shikharas, and mandapas which are all features of temples built during those times.
