Ajanta, the power of faith

Ajanta Caves, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India, are the most beautiful and oldest Buddhist caves in the world. They were built in 350 BC by drilling holes in the mountain to create huts, churches, temples, etc. There are 30 caves in total, using only hammers and chisels to drill. Inside the caves, there are beautiful carvings of both Buddhism and Buddha images. Later, the Ajanta Caves became deserted caves covered with vines and trees until 1819 when John Smith, a British soldier, went into the forest to hunt animals until he reached the mountain range of Ajanta village and accidentally discovered this cave. It has become another important place that remains beautiful to this day. For those who want to visit and pay homage to the Buddha images inside the cave and want to take beautiful pictures without being disturbed, it is recommended to go in the morning, the first trip. If there are more tourists and locals, the entrance fee for Thai passports is the same as for Indians.
