About

The Ajanta Caves are approximately 30 rock-cut Buddhist cave monuments that date from the 2nd century BCE to about 480 CE in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state of India. The caves include paintings and rock-cut sculptures described as among the finest surviving examples of ancient Indian art, particularly expressive paintings that present emotions through gesture, pose and form. Let us learn about the history of their construction, re-discovery and restoration.Contact, follow and support my work - all in one place: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/NamaskarIndia⁠⁠⁠UPI ID: 9893547492@ptaxisTopic: History of India - Ancient India
