UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In South-Central India is a village
known as Atlanta, and it is famed
because more than two dozen rock
caves" were discovered near it in
1877. 1t has been learned that some
of the caves were in use more than
1000 years ago.
The caves were cut by men in the
face of steep cliff alongside a small
river. They were made for monas-
terry school which kept growing dur
ing a period of eight or nine CEN
turies.
Some of the caves were dwellings
for monks and students and contain
rooms about 20 feet wide and IS feet
long. Leading from the large rooms
are smaller ones which were en-
ployed as sleeping chambers.
Other caves were meeting places
for students and teachers. The walls
of most of the caves are covered with
paintings in several colors. These
paintings give us good idea of art
work in ancient India.
Statues of the Buddha were found
in the caves and this proves that the
school was run by BuddhistS during
much, If not all, of its history. Per-
haps the school was closed because
the people of India turned away
from the Buddhist faith and back to
the older Hindu religion.

South Central India, a tourist may
see even more famous sights. Thir-

Rock Caves and q TEMPLE

OF all the works of man the Kailas
Temple stands out as one of the
most amazing. It dates back 1900
years, to the reign of King Krishnu
I. Before it could be produced, men
had to cut down through solid
granite. BY slow, hard labor they
followed out a great space, leaving
central mass of rock.
The mass of rock was later hewn
into a temple, work of beauty. On
the outside it is 100 feet wide and
164 feet long.
The temple is 80 feet high, about
the height of one of our eight-story
office buildings. Much of the rock
inside of the temple was cut away
and rooms II feet high were formed.
The inside walls were plastered over
and painted.
In the great courtyard are ponds,
obelisks and sphinxes. In some
places where the temple was hol-
lowed out there are huge statues of
elephants. These statues take the
place of pillars; the heads of the
elephants face the courtyards and
the elephants hold the ceiling on
their backs!
