The 34 "caves" are actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills.

The 17 Hindu (caves 13–29), 12 Buddhist (caves 1–12) and 5 Jain (caves 30–34) caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious harmony prevalent during this period of Indian history.〔Time Life Lost Civilizations series: Ancient India: Land Of Mystery (1994)〕 It is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Ellora Caves )〕
