Question

What are the main features of Ajanta paintings?

Answer 1

• The paintings of Ajanta are world-famous. Ajanta is a place where several caves were hollowed out of the hills over centuries.
• Most of these were Buddhist monasteries, while some of them were decorated with paintings. 
• The caves are dark inside, and therefore most of these paintings were done in the light of torches. 
• The colours are vivid even after 1500 years.
• These colours were made of plants and minerals.
