These Buddhist and Jain caves which are elaborately carved, seem quiet, meditative
and exude a divine energy. The paintings and sculptures in the caves of Ajanta
and Ellora, inspired by Buddhism and its culture, unleashed a surge of artistic
excellence unmatched in human history.

KUMBH MELA (Trimbak, Nasik)
As recorded & described in the vedic scriptures (puranas), Durvasa muni had cursed the Devas (demigods) & they had lost their strength. To regain their lost strength they approached Lord Brahma & Lord Shiva who directed them to Lord Vishnu. The Devas were given the task of churning the Ksheera Sagara (ocean of milk) to receive the amrith (immortality nectar).
