Ajanta Cave Nineteen

Ajanta Cave Nineteen basically houses a Chaitya gathering hall, along with disfigured paintings and sculptures. The Chaitya gathering hall in this cave has intricate carving and pilasters. In the centre of this hall, there is a big stupa, on the base of which dancing dwarfs are carved.

Under the arched Chaitya window, the sculpture of solemn Buddha is carved. Below the Buddha are the carvings of urchins, who have a cheerful expression. Another attraction of this cave is the statue of Standing Buddha atop the tall stupa, which is crowned with an umbrella that touches the roof. The painting of Naga king with his queen and attendants is another major attraction of the cave.
