Ajanta

Ajanta Caves are 31 rock-cut cave monuments, containing paintings and sculptures considered to be masterpieces of both Buddhist religious art and universal pictorial art. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This cave has one of the most elaborate carvings on its facade with relief sculptures on entablature and ridges. There are scenes carved from the life of the Buddha as well as a number of decorative motifs. Paintings are all over the cave except for the floor. At various places the art work has eroded due to decay and human interference. The technique and process used to produce this kind of artwork is different and very unique, unlike any other artwork found in the art history of other civilizations.
