Forbidden Cave Paintings Of Ellora, India

[@maryfields5882]

By creating this video, you ARE preserving history. With these images now on the web, people who would never have a chance to visit in person can still see and appreciate the work of artists and worshipers long passed. Thank you for your part in saving these images in a medium the creators could never have envisioned.

[@saisaraswathysivarajah156]

This is amazing, and you did a great job. But as you said, its a shame these beautiful paintings aren't being preserved.

[@vasudashenoy9613]

You have to get a permission letter from some govt officials to see them. Those paints are sensitive to light. To avoid vandalism, its kept out of public view. A printed version is available in connemara library, egmore,Chennai. Its a govt. Library.

[@tardigrade9493]

He must video today because the paintings have not been preserved and they may be gone tomorrow. Try to understand that he is not harming the paintings. Videoing is a very good way of saving these images for the next generation.

Flashlight trick for future reference; use a flashlight with an 18650 battery (higher the lumens the brighter the glow) and cut out the center of a water bottle cap. Place plastic circle into the flashlight lense bezel. Giving the flashlight a even diffusion and very little reflection back.

20 years ago I visited these caves and in one of the paintings I did see a women carrying a modern hand bag. in the same painting a boy is wearing a striped shirt with a collar just like any other shirt we use today .I was stunt to find a dark women with no upper clothing wearing pants .Hope you did not miss this particular painting .in one of the caves there are a few cups chiseled out I found it unnecessary in that setting when I enquired it was supposed to be the receptacle for mixing paints .these paints were made from vegetable dyes.... A life time experience

[@notavailable708]

Can you explain in more detail

[@erinrainey3911]

I’m very curious, did the handbag you saw happen to look similar to the “handbags” found in the art of many different ancient civilizations world wide? Do a simple search for “ancient handbags” in a search engine if you don’t know what I am talking about. Thanks, if you see this (I know I’m 2 years late).

I'm not sure if you're aware of this Praveen, but some of the caves wall plaster have been scientifically tested and found to have been a mix of cannabis, clay and lime. Cannebis was used to control the humidity, for the monks living there, and also to control insects. The cannebis was found to be native to Aurangabad. Maybe you have done other videos on this that I missed. Check it out. Thanks a stack for letting us into the cave. Those artworks are exquisite. 👍

Thank you Praveen for doing so much to bring these special Ellora Cave paintings to light. I really enjoy your videos!

[@msm852002]

Hey Thanx for sharing this video, welll I follow Jainism and the painting you saw in that chamber is of life incidents of Lord Mahaveera when he attain DIKSHA leaving his family behind first painting shows how he was as king filled with all materialisticcomforts , in second painting it represents the moment when he decides to take Diksha. In Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Diksa is given in a one-to-one ceremony, and typically includes the taking on of a serious spiritual discipline.

[@Satrana100]

+msm852002 Don't they normally after that give up there crown to a successor and live the rest of there life spiritually. I know a few kings in India have done that. Correct me if I am wrong though.

[@eeaotly]

Neelimaglory Hmmm! Maybe this is why the government ignores these paintings and keeps them away from the public... People would start venerating these paintings and would also pretend from the politicians to be more like their ancestors. And nobody wants to risk being asked to renounce at their warm nice place...

[@eeaotly]

Shubhasya Shigram As far as I know, they did understand the Vedas, but they rejected it for some reasons. Anyway, I don't know how the Jainism has evolved, but some branches of Buddhism borrowed a lot of elements from Hinduism/Vedism. So, in time, the line bacame kinda blurry. At least at a first and superficial sight, anyway.

Amazing Brother Praveen what you share and the locations you travel to and witnesses , You also must get amazed by what you see and where you go . As far as I can assess from you amazing videos and the knowledge they offer as equally as the knowledge you offer , I should say "a lot of history books should be deleted as they attempt to pilfer what is not theirs , but instead they rewrite history , muddle it up and use power and control mechanisms ". The evidence and history you provide is to my second to none . So thank You Brother and those that left the amazing foot prints of history . Not that it's a biggie just a curiosity as to why some would offer thumbs down to this video . Keep it up Brother Praveen .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Paintings in the dark! So there must be some kind of lights in those caves in ancient times powered by atmospheric energy devices and capacitors as we see in other ancient temples.Also with wireless electricity.Please check the ceiling of the caves and for any capacitors,antennas above the roof.Or it could be self illuminating paintings!

[@sunsh9ne1471]

How did they painted those beautiful things in such pitch dark that also with amazing colors? u could be right about the light . Again, forget about the paintings .
