The Kailasa temple in Maharashtra India is a rock cut temple (one of many) and this one in particular is carved out of one single rockspace. It is in fact the largest rock cut (a whole Indian style) one out of the thirty-four in Ellora Caves -Just the grandeur, skill, and size of all this is awing.

Abuna Yemata Guh: Uncovering Ancient Ethiopian Wonders - Pan African Central Core

Legend has it that Abuna Yemata Guh was carved into the rock in the sixth century, a labor of love dedicated to Abuna Yemata (or Abba Yem’ata), one of the revered Nine Saints. This fabled origin lends an air of mystique to the site, amplifying its allure as a destination of both spiritual significance and historical intrigue.
