27 Jul 2021
The Ajanta caves are situated 100 km north-east of Ellora, 104 km from Aurangabad and 52 km from Jalgaon in Maharashtra.
Buddhist monks got artists to paint the walls of the caves with
paintings depicting the life and teachings of Buddha, illustrations from
the Jataka tales. The paintings were executed over a period of
seven hundred years and hence the style of work in the vaious caves are
different. There are no religious themes on the ceilings, but
various decorative motifs.
