Description

The Buddhist cave paintings at Bagh are renowned for their heritage of art. However, unlike Ajanta, they have not received adequate scholarly attention so far.

The walls and ceilings of the Bagh caves were once a repository of magnificent paintings. The remnants of the paintings, though extremely scanty now, are an important part of our rich art heritage. The present work, with the help of earlier artistic and photographic reproductions, attempts at a complete documentation of the Buddhist cave paintings of Bagh.
