Beautifully carved into hillside rock, the Ajanta and Ellora caves remind you of history. The Ajanta caves contain monuments related to Buddhism while the caves at Ellora have monuments that are a blend of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.
The Ajanta caves are in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra. The site is a protected monument cared for by the Archaeological Survey of India, and since 1983, the Ajanta caves have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Ellora caves are also located in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra. The caves lying deep within the Sahyadri hills cut into the curved mountain slope, above the River Waghora. The Ellora caves are known for their murals, paintings and sculptures that have defined Indian art over time.
The Ellora cave is one of the largest rock cut monastery-temple cave complexes in the world.
