Ajanta, India–UNESCO World Heritage Site

 

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.
