10 Amazing Rock Cut Caves in India
2. Bagh Caves, Madhya Pradesh
Also called "The Palace of Colors", the caves were cut into a vertical sandstone rock face by master craftsmen. Meant to be Buddhist monasteries, the caves were made sometime in the 4th or 5th century AD. Though the paintings are disfigured due to age, it is said that the murals expressed lively, beautiful and vivid imagination. The eventual decline of Buddhism in India and its remoteness resulted in Tigers living there, hence the name. Some believe the work was begun by the Buddhist monk Dataka.
A painting of the Bodhisattva 'Padmapani' is found here and is about 150 kms from Indore and 100 from Dhar.
