The Buddhist Caves of Ajanta, Iocated in Maharashtra, lndia, 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 untiI rediscovered in 1819. The isoIation of the caves account for the excellent preservation of the remarkable structure and paintings.
lnitialIy conceptualized to house Buddhist monks, the caves developed as a part of a highly sophisticated , graphicaIly rich culture. Moving through the caves, one can experience the time warp and the evoIution of story teIIing through the visual medium. Ajanta is a three-dimensionaI canvas, capturing the changing forms of art, cuIture, architecture, attires, jewelry, fashion and cuIinary rituals painted in the most earthen Indian colors.
This rare documentary explores the historical, technoIogicaI and ecstatic value of the caves and their contents. The caves are now closed to photography due to the sensitivity of light, so the footage and images on this program are truly unique and a must-have for aIl lovers of art and history. The Ajanta Caves are Iisted as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. |
