important and significant work at Ajanta. Thepainting on walls of the Ajanta Caves tell not only the life of 

Buddha, who sought to teach mankind areligion of truth and Piety, but also depict the beautiful stories of his

 many previous births-the jataka tales-before he attained enlightenment."

"The tradition of Buddhist Mural paintings wasdiscovered almost accidently. This find changed the whole perspective of Buddhist art internationally."
