Caves
Brief Description
The Buddhist cave monuments at Ajanta of the 2nd and 1st
centuries B.C. were greatly enriched during the Gupta
period (5th and 6th centuries A.D.) when many more
richly decorated caves were added to the original group.
The paintings and sculptures of Ajanta, masterpieces of
Buddhist religious art, have had considerable artistic
influence.
