Caves in India
India is having some of the most famous world heritage sites of the
world such as Ajanta and Ellora caves in Maharashtra. Maharahstra has
indeed a rich heritage of ancient monuments representing different
phases of development in art and architectural style. The rock cut
architectural beauty witnessed in almost all the cave temples spread
over entire Maharashtra is a fine example of the majestic architectural
glory of ancient India. Just like Ajanta and Ellora caves, Udayagiri and Khandagiri caves in Orissa are a perfect example of Jain rock-cut shelters.
