Cave 29 (Dhumar Lena)

Cave 29 (Dhumar Lena) at Ellora is one of the largest and most dramatically carved Shiva caves in the complex — a cross-shaped cave with monumental Shiva panels, a massive Nandi bull, and two remarkable river goddess sculptures flanking the entrance. Structurally comparable to Elephanta Cave. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and top Ellora heritage sightseeing destination. Included in the entry ticket. Bypassed by most visitors but one of the most powerful Shaiva sculptures in India.
