World Cultural Heritage! Ajanta Caves in India: Stunning Buddhist Art

The Ajanta cave in India was built in 200 BC and gradually abandoned in the 5th century AD. It was accidentally discovered by a British colonist in 1819, allowing the cave to be seen again by the world.

Did Master Xuanzang also come here? ! The Journey to the West records Master Xuanzang's journey to India to seek Buddhist scriptures. The description of the geographical environment, architectural structure and stone elephant carvings are consistent with the 16th cave in the Ajanta cave in India.

The 29 caves have Buddha, exquisitely carved patterns and murals depicting the life of Buddha.

Now most of the murals are still preserved, especially the murals in the 18th cave, which are amazing. This shows that Buddhism was once very prosperous in India.
