Rock-cut architecture
शैलोत्कीर्ण वास्तुकला
In this Class 10 Art Education topic from the chapter Indian Architecture, students explore how caves, temples, monasteries, and halls were carved directly into natural rock. They learn to identify key features such as entrances, pillars, chambers, sculptures, relief work, and painted surfaces, while studying examples including Ajanta, Ellora, and Elephanta. The topic also explains the religious, cultural, and technical significance of rock-cut monuments and encourages comparison with structurally built architecture.
