The Kailash Cave, commonly known as Cave No. 16, is quite well-known. The officer said that since the building had two stories, anyone entering needed to use a ramp or a stairway. Even though there is a ramp and a staircase, the ASI wants to put in little lifts on both sides of the building.
As per the official “There will be no construction activity for installing these lifts. The mechanism will be small with 9 square feet area, in which a person in a wheelchair can easily go to the first floor.”
Ellora will become the first World Heritage Site in India with a lift facility that will help in boosting the tourism industry after the installation work is finished.
