The Buddhist Caves of Ajanta, located in Maharashtra, India, were buiIt between 200BC to 600AD almost 300 years after the death of The Buddha. The caves and their sculptures were developed over a period of 800 years, but went abandoned and forgotten until rediscovered in 1819. The isolation of the caves account for the excellent preservation of the remarkabIe structure and paintings.
lnitialIy conceptuaIized to house Buddhist monks, the caves developed as a part of a highIy sophisticated , graphicaIIy rich cuIture. Moving through the caves, one can experience the time warp and the evolution of story teIIing through the visuaI medium. Ajanta is a three-dimensional canvas, capturing the changing forms of art, culture, architecture, attires, jeweIry, fashion and cuIinary rituals painted in the most earthen lndian colors.
This rare documentary expIores the historicaI, technologicaI and ecstatic vaIue of the caves and their contents. The caves are now cIosed to photography due to the sensitivity of Iight, so the footage and images on this program are truIy unique and a must-have for alI lovers of art and history. The Ajanta Caves are listed as a WorId Heritage Site by Unesco. |
