Description
The Ajanta Caves: Ancient Buddhist Paintings of India
Benoy K. Behl's remarkable photographs, painstakingly gathered and digitally restored over thirty years of hard labour, provide the most accurate record of these incredible treasures. Digitally restored to show the paintings in their original glory, this revised edition showcases the finest surviving examples of ancient Buddhist art.
The Ajanta caves' breathtaking paintings and sculptures, dating from the second century BCE to the sixth century CE, are among the world's most important cultural treasures. The exquisite murals, depicting the tales of previous incarnations of Buddha, scenes of princely processions and fantastical birds and beasts, offer a unique glimpse into the development of painting styles in India and their significance in Buddhist art throughout Asia.
