Although all of the caves at Ellora are stunning architectural feats, the Hindu Kailasa Temple is the jewel in the crown.
Kailasa in western Tibet and Kataragama in the far south of Sri Lanka form a near-perfect analog to the axis mundi or susumna nadi of yogic lore.
In their view, Kailasa is homologized or equated to the thousand-petalled sahasrara cakra, the goal of yogic practice, while Kataragama corresponds to the muladhara cakra, the point of entry for the vertical flight to higher cakras or lokas, subtle worlds superior to our world of physical sense perception.

 On Sufficient Guidance
Kailasa Chandra prabhu suggests that the true successor to Srila Prabhupada, the person-Bhagavata, is to be found in the volumes of books Prabhupada wrote and commented upon (the book-Bhagavata).
Kailasa Chandra prabhu carefully directs us to have no truck either with so-called "institutional gurus" -- those sanctified by the majority vote of a society's managing directors -- or with "wild-card gurus" -- those with charisma and power who establish what amounts to a personality cult.
While most devotees of today would hurriedly flee unholy personality-cultists and their monstrous obsessions, most would probably accept as genuine many of the "institutional gurus." The author, however, is uncompromising, believing as he does that (like a bad apple) one corrupt or unqualified institutional guru will spoil the others, no matter how honest and qualified.

 HERE-NOW4U :Ranade :Creation of Ajanta and Ellora: Cultural Canvas of Saint Jnaneshvara's Thoughts
Kailasa - 300 ft. by 175 ft. rectangular enclosure 200 ft. long, 100 ft. wide and 100 ft. high shrine at its apex, the monument, from top to bottom is studded with iconographical sculptures with Vedic and Puranic connotations.
The architect of Kailasa must have found out the way to ride over this difficulty by cutting number of terraces, beginning with the top and then moving slope wise down-ward so that the rock chipped out of the block could be allowed to roll down and tumble out of the site.
Before cutting a trial trench in the live rock, the architect of Kailasa must have prepared a model of the proposed monument to be cut in the rock and a rectangular transparent tub made of lamina spread glass or mica, a drip drop tap attached to it at the bottom.

The four holy rivers issuing from the slopes of Mount Kailasa are: the Brahmaputra flowing eastwards, the Karnali flowing southwards and into the Ganges, the Sutlej flowing westwards and the Indus flowing northwards.
