Things to do in Rui

Ellora Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Aurangabad, Maharashtra, is widely considered one of India's most astonishing monuments, and visitors consistently use words like breathtaking, awe inspiring, and unforgettable to describe it. The complex holds 34 caves carved directly into basalt cliffs, divided into Buddhist (1 to 12), Hindu (13 to 29), and Jain (30 to 34) sections, built side by side across centuries by different faiths working in remarkable harmony. The undisputed highlight is Cave 16, the Kailasa Temple, an enormous multi story structure carved from a single monolithic rock hill, considered one of the greatest feats of ancient rock cut architecture anywhere in the world. Beyond Kailasa, Cave 10 (Vishvakarma, with its naturally echoing acoustics) and the quieter, intricately carved Jain Cave 32 are frequently singled out as must sees.Practically, plan for 2 to 4 hours minimum, longer if you want to appreciate the detail rather than rush through. The caves are closed on Tuesdays, open quite early (around dawn or shortly after), and get hot and crowded by mid morning, so an early start is strongly recommended. Photography is allowed throughout, unlike at the nearby Ajanta Caves. Facilities are reasonably good: drinking water points and restrooms near Cave 16, an ASI museum, and an MTDC restaurant near the entrance, though food isn't allowed inside the caves themselves. E rickshaws or golf carts help cover the spread out site, especially for reaching the Jain caves. Hiring an ASI approved guide is widely recommended, since the caves lack much on site signage and the historical and religious context genuinely enhances the experience, though guide fees run a bit high.

The Rajwada, a magnificent historical palace in Indore, was constructed by the Holkar Dynasty over two centuries ago. The adult admission fee (14+ years) is ₹20 per person. On-site car parking is limited; please note that no parking facilities are available.
