Ajanta Caves

Ajanta Caves

Ajanta Caves are a group of rock-cut Buddhist monasteries and worship halls in Maharashtra, India, arranged along a curved ravine. Ajanta's excavated spaces combine columns, sanctuaries, sculpted images, and extensive painted decoration. The relationship among architecture, sculpture, and murals records different phases of Buddhist artistic activity while demonstrating how builders adapted religious complexes to a continuous rocky landscape.

Rock-Cut and Built Temples of India

Indian sacred architecture includes spaces excavated from rock as well as temples assembled from carefully worked stone. Buddhist cave halls, the Hindu shrines at Ellora, and Chola temple construction demonstrate different relationships among religious practice, architectural planning, sculpture, and the physical properties of building materials.
