The Kailasa Temple at Ellora was carved straight downward into solid basalt, with an estimated 200,000–400,000 tons of waste rock removed. The first cut had to be precise within 5 centimeters or the structure would collapse. Local oral tradition says it was poured into place and built in a day and a night.
