Built 300 years after the death of Buddha between 200 BCE and 600 AD, the Buddhist Caves of Ajanta are located in Maharashtra, India. The caves and their art were in the making for over 800 years. Over time they were abandonded and forgotten until rediscovered in 1819 during British India, by the Madras Army.
