This is one of the Finest monasteries of its kind and no other monastery at Ajanta has been
So Handsomely ornamented.The Mahayaba monastery consist of an open courtyard, Verandah, a hypostylar hall,
sanctum with an antechamber and cells. The sanctum houses Lord Buddha in preaching posture with Bodhisattvas
on either side and five disciples and a wheel flaned by deers at the base of the pedestal suggests symolically Buddha's first
sermon at sarnath.
Every inch of this cave was originally painted. even the pillars and the sculptures being no exceptions
