Travel to Peninsular India: Ellora (Buddhist): Photo 1

A Muslim chronicler in the 1680s wrote something that might well have been written yesterday: "In all seasons, and particularly in the monsoons, when this hill and the plain below resemble a garden in the luxuriance of its vegetation and the abundance of water, people come to see the place. A waterfall a hundred yards in width tumbles down from the hill. It is a marvelous place for strolling, charming to the eye." (Muhammad Saqi Musta'idd Khan, Maasir-i-Alamgiri: A History of the Emperor Aurangzib-'Alamgir, quoted by Malandra, p. 1)
