Ajanta and Ellora Caves

We took a long weekend trip to Aurangabad this past weekend to explore the Ajanta and Ellora Caves.  In one word...Amazing.  The Ajanta caves were carved out from the Aurangabad mountains by Buddhists.  The paintings in the caves date back to the 5th and 6th century AD.  There are a series of caves/temples that each have their own special feature and visual greatness.  We were in awe all afternoon.  Enjoy some of pictures as we tried to capture our experiences at Ajanta...
