Description:
The first Buddhist cave monuments at Ajanta date
from the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. During the Gupta period
(5th and 6th centuries A.D.), many more richly decorated caves
were added to the original group. The paintings and sculptures
of Ajanta, considered masterpieces of Buddhist religious art,
have had a considerable artistic influence.
