Summary

A groundbreaking reconstruction of medieval Jain activities at Ellora, the first of its kind, reveals the significance and interplay of Jain caves alongside Hindu and Buddhist monuments. This study integrates art historical, epigraphical, and textual evidence to shed light on an understudied aspect of Ellora's cultural heritage. By examining these caves in tandem with other religious sites, it provides a comprehensive understanding of their role within the broader context of medieval Indian devotion and architectural expression.
