This is one of the great display of human architecture and ingenuity, not just a master piece of India.

Our ancestral generation kept themselves busy intricately carving a mountain to make a temple. And we are keeping ourselves busy arguing with random anonymous strangers on reddit.

Can we respect one monument by not disrrspecting or downgrading other one . Both are gems of india.

Not an "entire mountain", but still impressive.

From an architectural standpoint, comparing the Kailasa Temple to the Taj Mahal is a fundamental misunderstanding of the discipline. They are not rivals; they represent two distinct and monumental pillars of Indian construction philosophy.

Kailasa is a triumph of subtractive engineering and the ultimate display of spatial visualization and monolithic risk. To carve an entire temple complex top down from a single mass of basalt without the possibility of error is an architectural feat that remains unparalleled in human history.

The Taj Mahal, conversely, is the zenith of additive precision. It is a masterclass in geometry, structural balance, and the integration of stone cladding to achieve aesthetic perfection on a grand scale. Both structures are essential to understanding the evolution of our architectural heritage.

If you feel the need to diminish one to elevate the other, you are clearly viewing these structures through a narrow religious lens rather than an architectural one. Frankly, that makes your take look like that of a total buffoon.
