Sculptures in Ajanta were both plastered and painted though any trace of the latter is invisible to the naked eye today. The garbha griha (sanctum sanctorum) of each vihara contains almost invariably in seated posture the gure of Buddha in dharma chakra pravartana mudra (Buddha in preaching attitude delivering his discourse). #robloveblog #ajanta #paleoanthropology #anthropology #primatology #evolution #art #artistsoninstagram #history #culture #nature #heritage #historia #life #ancient #old #instatravel #explore #historical #world #historic #travelblogger #adventure #bhfyp

The cave complex in Ajanta comprises 30 caves. Of these, five (9, 10, 19, 26, and 29) are chaitya (prayer hall with a stupa at the far end) and the rest are vihara (monastery). The architecture of the cave complex is unique because it reflects the ever-improving proficiency of the craftsmen, educated in an architectural style already highly developed but unfamiliar with the rock-cut medium. #robloveblog #ajanta #paleoanthropology #anthropology #primatology #evolution #art #artistsoninstagram #history #culture #nature #heritage #historia #life #ancient #old #instatravel #explore #historical #world #historic #travelblogger #adventure #bhfyp

During the Gupta period, an ideal image of the Buddha has been created by combining selected traits from the Gandharan region (characterized by Hellenic traits) with the sensuous form created by Mathura artists (the body expanded by the sacred breath and the right shoulder bare). The Puranas of Vyasa were compiled during this period and the famous caves of Ajanta and Ellora, with their elaborate carvings and vaulted rooms, were also begun. #robloveblog #ajanta #india #gupta #paleoanthropology #anthropology #primatology #evolution #art #artistsoninstagram #history #culture #nature #heritage #historia #life #ancient #old #instatravel #explore #historical #world #historic #travelblogger #adventure #bhfyp

The Kailasa Temple, named from the mountain where Shiva resides, contains elaborately carved monoliths and halls with stairs, doorways, windows, and numerous fixed sculptures. One of its better-known decorations is a scene of Vishnu transformed into a man-lion and battling a demon. Just beyond the entrance, in the main courtyard, is a monument to Shiva’s bull Nandi. Along the walls of the temple are life-size sculptures of elephants and other animals. Erotic and voluptuous representations of Hindu divinities and mythological figures also grace the temple. #robloveblog #ellora #kailasa #india #paleoanthropology #anthropology #primatology #evolution #art #artistsoninstagram #history #culture #nature #heritage #historia #life #ancient #old #instatravel #explore #historical #world #historic #travelblogger #adventure #bhfyp

Architecture and sculpture are inextricably linked in India. In the Hindu temple, large niches in the three exterior walls include sculpted images that portray various aspects of the deity. The sanctum image expresses the essence of the deity. For instance, the niches of a temple dedicated to a Vishnu may portray his incarnations; those of a temple to Shiva, his various combative feats; and those of a temple to the Great Goddess, her battles with various demons. The exterior of the halls and porch are also covered with figural sculpture. #robloveblog #ellora #india #paleoanthropology #anthropology #primatology #evolution #art #artistsoninstagram #history #culture #nature #heritage #historia #life #ancient #old #instatravel #explore #historical #world #historic #travelblogger #adventure #bhfyp

Hinduism's three most popular deities are named Puranas, the god Shiva, the god Vishnu, and the goddess Shakti (literally, “Power”); generally, Hindus address their worship to one or another of the three. The Ellora Caves is a series of 34 magnificent rock-cut temples in northwest-central Maharashtra state. The 12 Buddhist caves date from about 200BCE to 600 CE, the 17 Hindu temples (in the center) date from about 500 to 900 CE, and the 5 Jain temples (in the north) date from about 800 to 1000. The Hindu caves are the most dramatic in design, and the Buddhist caves contain the simplest ornamentation. #robloveblog #ellora #india #paleoanthropology #anthropology #primatology #evolution #art #artistsoninstagram #history #culture #nature #heritage #historia #life #ancient #old #instatravel #explore #historical #world #historic #travelblogger #adventure #bhfyp
