Found Animal Friends

Ajanta caves have total 30 caves in one large rock, but few caves are closed due to some maintenance. But when you saw this caves beauty, history, stories, language, 3D paintings, art completely mind blowing.

The caves also present paintings depicting the past lives and rebirths of the Buddha, pictorial tales from Aryasura's Jatakamala, and rock-cut sculptures of Buddhist deities.

I am happy to see while vivid colours and mural wall-painting were abundant in Indian history as evidenced by historical records, and Ajanta form the largest corpus of surviving ancient Indian wall-painting.

Mahaparinirvana of Buddha

Above photos described Lord buddha death below side people's are sad because he is leaving from us completely another side above people which swarg(Goddess) are happy and celebrating becuase he is come to them.

Ajanta caves is completely great not only the architect but also all the remaining factors like Wall-painting and their stories, designing, fashion and made with natural colors. I must suggest you take a guide for exploring caves because he told you story, history and many others things which we don't know even prepared before visiting this place. King Harisena, Queen Victoria neckless, 3D paintings, stupa, vihar and Mahaparinirvana all this stories your mind goes to that history, and one "Wow feelings" definitely comes.

This is very beutiful manual way(Old Style) for making paithani, himroo.

Mughal Silk Bazaar is not only for making paithani, himroo and Pashmina sarees but also they sell it also.

Road is very beautiful both side vatt vrushka tree.

Ellora caves is divided into 3 part Kailash, Buddhist and Jain Caves.

Buddhist Caves

The Buddhist cave start from 1 to 12 ends, Eleven out of the twelve Buddhist caves consist of viharas which means monasteries with prayer halls: large, multi-storeyed buildings carved into the mountain face, including living quarters, sleeping quarters, kitchens, and other rooms.
