Located in Maharashtra, India, these ancient caves are adorned with intricate depictions of the Buddha and scenes from the Jataka tales. The vibrant colors and detailed brushwork bring this centuries-old artwork to life. In this particular section of the cave painting, we see a group of musicians and dancers immersed in their artistry.
