The famous Ajanta caves, discovered in 1819, contain remarkable examples of Buddhist art which provides a unique opportunity to study the early phases of Buddhist sculpture, painting and architecture, which later influenced artistic traditions in central Asia and Far east. Ajanta is a village of west-central India southwest of Amravati. While Ellora Caves are located about 30 Kilometers from Aurangabad and known for the genius of their sculptors. Ellora represents some three hundred years of great experiments carried out by different faiths with their very different iconography and structural compulsions.
