These religious establishments
could have received royal patronage from
various dynasties, even though inscriptional
evidences are lacking for most of them. The only
definite inscriptional evidence is that of Rash
trakuta Dantidurga (c.753-57 A. D.) The
majority o the Brahmanical establishments and
the remaining Buddhist ones can be attributed to
the Rashtrakuta times which indicate the
religious tolerance of the ntemporary period.
The Jaina caves definitely post date the
Rashtrakutas as indicated by the style of
execution and fragmentary inscriptions. This
region was under the control of Kalyani
Chalukyas and Yada vas of Deogiri
(Daulatabad) during this period.
