Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v4.c16.s33.3

v4.c16.s33.3

THE painting represents five episodes, all mentioned in the Jātaka version (i, 39-42),³ but as the fresco is badly damaged in its lower part previous scholars have not been able to identify certain scenes. Beginning from the door side and proceeding towards the first window, a scene may be noticed in which a herd of thirteen deer is represented.
