Ellora Cave Temples



Facada

Cave 9's elaborate upper facade levels contain a series of six seated Buddhas in ornate arches, in a sequence of three, two, and one, reading from bottom to top. Playful dwarfs and supporting yakshas appear between the arches, while bhadrasana Buddhas, probably the ""Seven Historical Buddhas", alternate with standing bodhisattvas, in the frieze below.
