The paintings that identify Ajantha – Puspapani (One who holds flower in hand) and Vajrapani (One who holds thu-
-nderbolt in his hand). These paintings are remarkable not only because they were painted by monks 1500 years
ago, but also because the caves in which they were painted were pitch black without lights.
