In my opinion, the most significant historic site of India both in Architecture, Religion influence and artistic influence would have to be the Ajanta and Ellora Caves
Ajanta and Ellora Caves. is one of the finest examples of rock cut architecture. In them there are numerous Hindu, Buddhists and Jain temples and artifacts and it is an influence of the development of Indian culture.
The first Buddhist cave monuments at Ajanta date from 1st centuries B.C. and many more nicely decorated cave were added during the Gupta period (5th and 6th centuries A.D.), It has a lot of artist influence as well as the paintings and sculptures of Ajanta had been considered masterpieces of Buddhist religious art,
In Ellora, there are 24 monasteries and temples, extending more than 2km and it is a place that brings the civilization of ancient India to life. Not only is the Ellora complex a unique artistic creation and a technological exploit but, with its sanctuaries devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, it illustrates the spirit of tolerance that was characteristic of ancient India.
