This particular painting was discovered inside cave number one at Ajanta. These man made caves date back to 200 BC through 650 AD. All 29 caves are cut into a deep rock gorge that curves along a steep circular ravine. The caves were abandoned with the decline of Buddhism and not discovered again until 1819 when a British hunting party fell upon them. Unesco has listed the Ajanta Caves as a world heritage site.
