Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v3.c12.s19.1

v3.c12.s19.1

The story is painted on the back wall of the right aisle in Cave X, behind pillars 2 to 12. The painting, like that on the back wall of the left aisle, is much damaged, being scribbled over by ignorant visitors, who committed this vandalism before the establishment of the Archaeological Department of Hyderabad.¹ The subject is reproduced in five plates. One of them gives an outline of the entire painting, and four represent photographs in monochrome taken direct from the rock-wall.
