CAVES No. 1 TO No. 14.—AJUNTA.
THIS view represents the principal and oldest group of the Ajunta Caves. The two Chaitya Caves, with their great semicircular windows, seen in the centre of the view, are Nos. 9 and 10. The two oldest Viharas, Nos. 11 and 12, are those on the left of these two, and the view extends on the right nearly to No. 1, which terminates the series in this direction.
The demarcation of the two strata of trap is very clearly shown in this view, as also the nature of the scrub jungle, which covers the hills in every direction in this country, forming an immense forest, but without a single tree of anything like magnificent dimensions.
