Painting C, Cave No. 2, Ajanta [copy by students of the Bombay School of Art of a wall painting at extreme right side of porch of vihara Cave II, Ajanta]. Photographer: Bombay School of Art
- Scope & Content:
-
See Griffiths, vol. 1, plate 20, for a plan of the wall surfaces of Cave II showing the location of this painting; described p. 28: 'In this picture, at the end of the verandah, ... are some of the supernatural beings introduced into later Buddhism. All the figures float or fly on clouds; on the left are two devotees (Arhats), and on the right may be two angels (Gandharvas), with a regal figure, perhaps Indra, in the middle, with a high ornamental head-dress; to the left, his wife Shachi; and on the right, a green-coloured attendant vigorously wielding a fly-flap ... The copy is in the India Museum, South Kensington.'
