Elapura—Elur or Ellora. The cave temple of Kailâsa was constructed on the hills by Kṛiṣhṇa Râja of the Râṣhṭrakuṭa dynasty of Bâdâmî, who reigned between 753 and 775 A.D. (Dr. Bhandarkar's Early History of the Dekkan). General Cunningham (Ancient Geography of India) identifies Elapura with Verawal in Gujarat, but this identification does not appear to be correct. Elapura is evidently a corruption of Ibalapura See Ibalapura.
