Thanks for the tip Mahesh. I tried with flash and without flash on many pictures. Due to poor light conditions inside the cave it wasn't clear to me (blame it on my poor photography skills) whether to use the flash or not. So tried it with both. Except for a few pictures most didn't come out to my satisfaction. Thanks Senthil. Thanks for the tip Mahesh. I tried with flash and without flash on many pictures.

I always wanted to visit this place. I tried twice when I was in Mumbai & Pune for about 6 months. But somehow it never materialised. A small suggestion. When you take photographs like this where there is practically no natural light, it is better not to use flash. Instead you can set the night vision on (beware of more exposure time - so avoid shakes) or if your flash is adjustable, it can be set so that the flash 'reflects' from some other direction. If you could use a tripod, much better. Otherwise the subject is overlit and you couldn't get the details. Beautiful account of the magnificient Ellora. I always wanted to visit this place.

The narration makes this post very interesting. Two years before, my father went there, and said, he was not allowed to take photos. If you have any photos, please update this post with those photos.

Viswakarma is actually the Chief Architect of the Devas. That's whose name the Bhavan (hostel) is named after. Interestingly, the community of carpenters in India have taken the name Viswakarma for their community. So the Viswakarma in Ellora Cave #10 is this reference as a carpenter. Thanks Kesava.

I think I should bump up Ajanta-Ellora in my india-to-see list. The first time I read the names of Bhawans in Pilani, I knew the place had something to it, when one of the names was Viswakarma Bhawan. :) Quite an involving description!
