Natural areas Ajanta - A Masterpiece in rock

Mumbai, 12 February: The Ajanta Caves, situated in the Deccan in Maharashtra and about 110 km from Aurangabad, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A visit to the place reveals a large slice of history
These rock-cut cave temples and monasteries of Buddhism date back to around the 2nd century BCE. Since they were in the jungles, cut into a mountainside, the external world did not know about them for a long time. They were discovered only in the 19th century: The caves include paintings and rock-cut sculptures described as among the finest surviving examples of ancient Indian art. The paintings are expressive and present emotion through gesture, pose, and form. According to UNESCO, these are masterpieces of Buddhist religious art that influenced the Indian art that followed.
Two new visitor centers provide extensive information about the heritage site using audiovisual media. Local staff is employed for security purposes. Though photography is allowed at certain places, with fees for the use of a camera, the use of tripods and flash is prohibited. Sign Boards and brochures/leaflets provide Information about the care to be taken to preserve this UNESCO-protected heritage site. "The caves are now being looked after by a private company under the Indian government's 'Adopt a Heritage Site' program." said a senior official.
