Description: | Photograph of the exterior of Cave XXVI at Ajanta, taken by Robert Gill in c.1868-70, from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections. The Buddhist cave temples of Ajanta were first excavated into a cliff overlooking the Waghora River from the 2nd to1st centuries BC. This large chaitya hall in Cave 26, belongs to a later group from the 5th century AD. This view shows the columned verandah, now almost destroyed, that extends across the facade in the courtyard before the cave; also the entrance to one of the side chapels on the right. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Gill, Robert | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
