Finished Caves
This is one of the finest monasteries at Ajanta. Graciously posed Bodhisattvas
with elaborate headdresses flank the antechamber doorway. On its either side
are two of the best-known murals Bodhisattva Padmapani and Bodhisattva Vajrapani
holding a thunderbolt (right) accompanied by attendants, divine musicians and
flying figures.
