Some of the finest works of art were created in [Ajanta Caves](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/849/the-ajanta-caves/) (Maharashtra, [India](https://www.worldhistory.org/india/)) between 2nd century BCE and 6th century CE. Mahaparinirvana (demise) of [Buddha](https://www.worldhistory.org/Siddhartha_Gautama/) is one the many bas-reliefs sculpted here.
