Ajanta
and Ellora Caves in Aurangabad Maharastra.
The
Ajanta and Ellora Caves are divided in two parts
1.
Ajanta Caves -
These caves depict the story of Buddhism,spanning the period from 200BC to
650AD. It is lying deep inside the Sahyadri Hills and were discovered in 19th
century. The caves include painting and sculptures, carved by Buddhist Monks
using simple tools like hammer and chisel. These caves were carved from the mountains above the Waghora river. The
first cave contains some of the most well-preserved wall paintings which
include two great Boddhisattvas, Padmapani and Avalokiteshvara. The second,
sixteenth and seventeenth caves contain amazing paintings, while the first,
fourth, seventeenth, nineteenth, twenty-fourth and twenty-sixth boast of some
of the most divine sculptures. The flying apsara and the image of Buddha
preaching are examples of unforgettable works of art. It was almost by chance
that these ancient works of art were discovered - by a group of British
officers on a tiger hunt!
Ellora
Caves- ELLORA, a village of India in the native
state of Hyderabad, near the city of Daulatabad, famous for its rock temples,
which are among the finest in India. Ellora represents
the epitome of Indian
rock-cut architecture. The rock has been cut away externally as well as internally. The 34 "caves" are actually structures excavated
out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills. Buddhist, Hindu and Jain rock-cut temples and viharas and mathas were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The
12 Buddhist (caves 1–12), 17 Hindu (caves 13–29) and 5 Jain (caves 30–34)
caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious harmony prevalent during
this period of Indian
history
