Part of the "Ajanta" series, this title systematically describes each cave, starting with the imperial cave 1. Along with the other volumes in this series, this detailed analysis of each cave's features assists the reader as well as visitor in piecing together Ajanta's history and development and also enable him to read the stones for himself.
Volume Five comprises, along with introductory comments, two "cave by cave" guides. One which, very briefly, describes the character of each cave and its patronage, is intended to be useful for the general visitor to the site. The other, very detailed, discusses the position and peculiarities of each cave in relation to the overall, year by year, development of the site. This volume also contains a complete set of cave plans, and various illuminating charts, graphs, outlines, and maps.

Walter M. Spink, Ph.D. (1954), Harvard, is Professor Emeritus, History of Art, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He has published widely on Indian Art in general, and Ajanta and related sites in particular.
