Ajanta Cave 28: 200th Anniversary Year of Ajanta Cave Wall Paintings


Summary: Ajanta cave 28 assumes less advanced and ancient aspects among Ajanta cave wall paintings in their 200th anniversary year in central-west India.


Ajanta Cave 28 is sited at the westernmost end (upper left) of the Ajanta Caves complex; Ajanta Caves, Maharashtra, west-central India; Saturday, Sep. 24, 2011, 19:47: Deviprasad, CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, Wikimedia Commons

Ajanta cave 28 acts as a pillared veranda unattached to any accommodations and avails none of the world-acclaimed Ajanta cave wall paintings in their 200th anniversary year of European access in Maharashtra.
Perhaps military and political battles between Asmaka kings and Satavahana dynasty Emperor Harishena's two sons, from 477 to 500, barred itinerant artisans building beyond the veranda. Itinerant artisans commenced constructing Ajanta cave 28 during the second building phase, 1,300 to 1,600 years ago, in the 1,300- to 2,300-year-old, 30-cavern Ajanta Caves complex. They designed Ajanta cave 28 as a covered, pillared veranda to dormitory cells for Waghora (from Sanskrit व्याघ्र, "tiger") River bend glen artisans, merchants and monks.
Itinerant artisans in the northwestern extension of the Sahyadri (from Sanskrit सह्याद्रि, "benevolent") Hills excavated Ajanta cave 28 from volcanic basalt rock downward, outward and sideward.

One window each fits between the left wall and leftmost pillar, that pillar and the next, and that second leftmost and the cave façade middle pillar.
One window each goes between the right wall and rightmost pillar, that pillar and the next, and that second rightmost and the cave façade middle pillar. The Ajanta cave 28 façade perhaps had, or not, a lattice wood screen over each of its windows and a wood door in its exterior entrance. It invited its itinerant artisans over rough sculpted floors, past rough sculpted walls and under rough sculpted ceilings within an incomplete veranda for an unexcavated monastery.
Ajanta cave 28 juggles amorphous, dark interiors without crisp edges or straight lines in the 200th anniversary year of European access to Ajanta cave wall paintings.

Ajanta cave 28 knows the last position on the horseshoe-shaped, 1,968.5-foot- (600-meter-) long loop of the Ajanta Caves from its eastern entry to its western end.
Numbering systems look at physical location, except for Ajanta caves 15A/30 and 29, from the eastern, upper end, not at construction sequence or European discovery date. Walking paths, made since the first known European access April 28, 1819, move tourists from the Archaeological Survey of India on-site offices to the Ajanta Caves. They negotiate tourists directly past, or indirectly through the first of three Waghora River bend glen bridges and walking paths to, Ajanta Caves 1 through 29.
Ajanta cave 28 offers for tourists perhaps the least altered organization of surrounding natural space in the 200th anniversary year of European-accessed Ajanta cave wall paintings.

Ajanta cave 28 preserves the only veranda without chaitya (from Sanskrit चैत्य, "funeral mound, pedestal, pile") prayer halls or vihara (from Sanskrit विहार, "walking [hall]") monasteries.
The unexcavated monastery cells for the Ajanta cave 28 veranda perhaps queue up with such simpler known floor plans as Ajanta caves 8, 21 and 27. All vihara monastery caves, bigger or smaller, less or more ancient as respectively second-phase and first-phase excavations, reveal two stone-sculpted beds with stone-sculpted pillows per cell. Sleep-over artisans, merchants and monks spent non-sleeping segments in chaitya caves to see and study painted, sculpted stories and symbols about Buddha (from Sanskrit बुद्ध, "awakened").
Ajanta cave 28, because of its incompleteness and remoteness, takes in no tourists of Ajanta cave wall paintings in their 200th anniversary year of European access.
