Aurangabad Caves
The Aurangabad Caves are a group of twelve rock-cut Buddhist shrines located on a hill near the city of Aurangabad, Maharashtra. These caves were carved out of soft basalt rock during the 6th and 7th centuries1. They are divided into three groups: the Western Group (Caves I to V), the Eastern Group (Caves VI to IX), and the Northern Cluster (Caves X to XII).
The carvings at the Aurangabad Caves are notable for their depiction of various Buddhist deities, including goddesses like Durga and gods like Ganesha. The caves are considered a significant example of Buddhist art from the 1st millennium CE1.
