The monograph is aimed for students of higher education studying ancient Indian history and culture or Buddhist art and archaeology of the Indian subcontinent.

You will find here the following contents within a single volume:
A short introduction to the historical, religious, and political background of Ajanta, such that is based on the latest researches. Systematic and summarised descriptions of the complete corpus of the narrative wall paintings based on the new research and corpus by Dieter Schlingloff of Leipzig University. Systematic photographic documentation of the narrative wall paintings by reproducing at least one photograph for each of the narrative wall painting that is still extant in some measure. The present corpus sadly excludes the paintings of the caves 9 and 10 because of the extremely poor state of preservation that has been beyond the author's scope of photography.Format:Paperback
