An entire mountain carved into a temple. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of rock excavated. Towering pillars, enormous chambers and sculptures cut directly into solid basalt. How did the ancient builders of India accomplish something so extraordinary?

Deep within the Ellora Caves stands the astonishing Kailasa Temple, an architectural achievement that has fuelled speculation about lost technology, forgotten civilisations and engineering knowledge far beyond what we normally associate with the ancient world.

Nearby, the Ajanta Caves conceal extraordinary paintings, mysterious chambers and centuries of forgotten history. Together, these monuments raise some extraordinary questions. Where did the excavated stone go? Could the builders have inherited knowledge from an earlier civilisation? And what connection might exist between these temples, Hindu accounts of powerful gods and legends of vanished worlds?

This documentary investigates the evidence, the engineering and the ancient mysteries of Ajanta and Ellora.

Did ancient India possess technological secrets that history has forgotten?
