All Ajanta Cave ground photos below are compliments of Chaitanya and Roberta Borade
My very good friends, Chaitanya Borade and Roberta Borade, while visiting family in India for their wedding, took a day to visit Ajanta Caves. They took all the photos here. As I learn more about Ajanta Caves I will add details here. As can be seen in the below photos, the temple cave system is simply amazing. All caves and carvings have been cut out of solid rock, and allegedly the vast majority of the rock removed in the carving/shaping process in antiquity is not at the site. Chaitanya and I are planning a motorcycle trip around India, so I plan to soon have hundreds of pictures to share.
