Report on "AJANTA -A MASTERPIECE IN ROCK"

                                                 - Rani Iyer 

Mumbai, 12 February : The Ajanta Caves, Mumbai, situated in the Deccan in Maharashtra and about 110 km from Aurangabad, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A visit to the place reveals a large slice of history. These rock-cut cave temples and monasteries of Buddhists date back to around 2nd century BCE. Since they were in the jungles, cut into a mountainside, the external world did not know about them for a long time. They were discovered only in the 19th century. The caves include paintings and rock-cut sculptures described as among the finest surviving examples of ancient Indian art. The paintings are expressive and present emotion through gesture, pose and form. According to UNESCO, these are masterpieces of Buddhist religious art that influenced the Indian art that followed. Two visitor centers provide extensive new information about the heritage site using audiovisual media. Local staff is employed for security purposes. Though photography is allowed at certain places, with fees for the use of a camera, use of tripods and flash is prohibited. Signboards and brochures/leaflets provide information about the care to be taken to preserve this UNESCO protected heritage site. "The caves are now being looked after by a private company under the Indian government's 'Adopt a Heritage Site' program," said a senior official.

A beautiful story " Caught while Sleeping"

  One cold and lonely night, when neither a whisper nor a sound could be heard coming from the streets, I woke up by the sound of footsteps on the staircase. The first thought that hit me was 'burglars' but then the sound ceased and so I tried to get back to sleep. After a while, the sound resumed and this time with firmness and quickness. I dared to get out of the bedroom and followed in the darkness in the direction of the sound of the footsteps. As I entered the kitchen, I was horrified to see to burglars trying to escape with a bag filled with some valuables through the stairs that led out into the passageway and then outside.

As one of them turned and opened the door, they were greeted and then escorted to the police station by two policemen who heard their noise while they were patrolling the place: Thu...
