About Ajanta Caves
Ajanta Caves has more than 30 rock-cut caves carved into a horseshoe-shaped cliff above the Waghora River. Buddhist monks began cutting these caves out of solid volcanic rock around the 2nd century BCE, and work continued in phases over several centuries, making Ajanta one of the oldest and most important groups of Buddhist monuments in India.The caves remained hidden and forgotten in the jungle for hundreds of years, until a British officer, John Smith, accidentally rediscovered them in 1819 while on a tiger-hunting trip. Since then, Ajanta has become world famous for its rich collection of ancient Buddhist religious art. Inside, you will find:
- Detailed wall paintings that show the life and teachings of Lord Buddha, along with stories from the Jataka talesound 2.5 to 3.5 hours, one way
- Carved stone statues, pillars, and sculpted facades that show the fine craftsmanship of ancient Indian artists
- Old prayer halls (chaityas) and monk living quarters (viharas) used for worship and daily life
UNESCO declared Ajanta Caves a World Heritage Site in 1983, recognising it as a masterpiece of ancient Indian art and architecture. The caves sit in a curved hill above the Waghora River, and the view of the green river valley from the cave entrances is very beautiful, especially in the soft morning light.
