Best Answer

The caves, famous for its murals, are the finest surviving examples of Indian art, particularly painting.These caves are excavated in horse-shoe shaped bend of rock surface nearly 76 m in height overlooking a narrow stream known as Waghora. The location of this valley provided a calm and serene environment for the Buddhist monks who retreated at these secluded places during the rainy seasons.
