Avalokiteśvara, “Lord who looks down”, is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. The paintings and rock sculptures in the Ajanta caves, a Buddhist monastic complex in the Maharashta state of India, are a testimony to the golden age of Buddhism in India and a unique artistic achievement.
