Ajanta Caves contain paintings and sculptures considered to be masterpieces of both Buddhist religious art and universal pictorial art. Chiseled during the span between the 2nd century BC and the 8th century AD, the Ajanta and Ellora caves are two of the most alluring tourist destinations in India. The caves at Ajanta are all Buddhist, while the caves at Ellora are a mixture of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain. The carvings and the paintings in the caves depict the life stories of Lord Buddha. The river Wagura, a mountain stream flows along the bottom of the ravine. This river falls from a height of 200 ft, thus making a series of waterfalls.
