Lost Ancient Art Revealed 

An exhibition of digital restored photographs of Ajanta caves by Prof. Benoy K. Behl

The earliest Buddhist paintings of the world are of the 2nd century BCE. Shrouded in the darkness of the Ajanta caves, these did not get the attention of the world, despite their very sophisticated quality. They could hardly be seen owing to much early 20th century graffiti on them. This exhibition throws a magical light which shows these paintings for the first time, through Prof. Behl’s photography in darkness and subsequent removal of graffiti by painstaking digital restoration.

Inauguration by Lady Kishwar Desai, Chair, The Arts and Culture Heritage Trust on Saturday, 6 January 2024 at 11:30 hours
