*Buddhist*—"At Ellora the Buddhists were the first of the three great religious communities to occupy this site, and as such their monasteries are in the most favourable position, being at the southern end of a scarp of the plateau, where it throws out a horn to the west. Here they practised their religion for some two centuries, from A.D. 450 to 650, during which period the group of twelve rock-cut halls belonging to the Buddhist creed were produced". (see the tabulation of all these 12 excavations in Brown).
