πAjanta Paintings (Ajanta is Close to Aurangabad) :
β Ajanta is a great place to learn Indian classical painting, sculpture, and architecture.
β From the second century BCE until the seventh century CE, this area saw development under the patronage of the Satavahanas, Vakatakas, and Guptas before being abandoned.
β The frescoes in Ajanta were not reproductions of other artwork.
β The figures were conceptually constructed by the painters. The subjects they painted reflected the soul of the artists.
β In Indian culture, a dhyanamantra isrepeated in meditation prior to beginning a painting or sculpture. The figurines appear to be breathing, then.
β Examples: Bodhisatva Padmapani, Bodhisatva Vajraapani, the Black princess, the dying princess, renunciation of Siddhartha, Buddha and Yashodhara are the master pieces of Ajanta paintings.

πChalukya School :
β In the Deccan region, the Western Chalukyas succeeded the Vakatakas. It was a dynasty of great power. The well-known kings of this dynasty were Vikramaditya, Mangalesha, Pulakesi, and Keertivarman.
β Their main city was Badarni.
β The Vaishnava cave, located in Cave 3, is the most magnificent and regal building.
β It is renowned for its towering sculptures of many manifestations of Vishnu, including Varaha, Trivikrama, Narasimha, and Ananta Vishnu.
β A cave's inscription states that Mangalesha, the cave's patron and a Bhagata Dharma adherent, had the entire cave decorated.
But the magnificent picture is currently just partially visible. Mangalesha is unmistakably depicted as a patron of the painter's work in the incomplete paintings from Badami. A scene from the palace is depicted on a huge panel.

πRashtrakuta School : Rashtrakuta established their rule in Deccan after overthrowing the Badami Chalukyas.
β The Kailasa cave at Ellora, crafted in the 8th century, is a remarkable rock-cut structure.
β Ellora's mantapas (pillared halls) showcase paintings on walls and ceilings, depicting Shiva Purana themes, as well as floral, animal, and bird designs.
β One iconic panel in Ellora portrays a dancing Shiva.
β The unique trait, which here became stylistic elements of Jain manuscript paintings in the 12th century CE, is the odd placement of the eyes and the angular nose in three-quarter view. This is the last illustration of a mural painted in the Ajanta style.
