Ajanta caves are well known for their creativeness and artistic excellence. A single picture of Ajanta can communicate the meaning better than a thousand words. Ajanta came in with a new mode of art forms when new religious systems had grown up. Artists amalgamated all styles they had in mind that they had inherited from generations and produced paintings that were in the ‘exclusive Ajanta style’. These have been illustrated in the about 1300 odd line drawings presented in the book. The volume has been divided into eight chapters on architecture, sculpture, paintings, decorative paintings on ceilings, symbols and motifs and an analytical treatment of motifs. There is also a full treatment of the numerous jataka tales, visuals of which are presented in the paintings. This book is an attempt to put into one volume, as much as possible, everything about the art of ajanta. pp. xvi + 340 ; 41 col. Illustrations ; 1297 Figures & Maps ; Bibliography ; Index.
