- Scope & Content:
-
Photograph of the sculptured doorway of the Lomas Rishi cave in the Barabar Hills, Gaya. Caves in the twin Hills of Barabar and Nagarjuni date back to the 3rd century BC, Maurya period and represent some of the earliest example of rock-cut architecture in India.

The sculptured doorway imitates wooden architecture. A frieze of elephants proceeding towards stupa emblems is sculpted along the curved architrave.
