DESCRIPTION
This work presents a comprehensive style analysis sculptural art in the early Buddhist caves of western Maharashtra. The sculptures in these caves are some of the. earliest art works in stone dating to the early historical period from the region. No independent studies on the sculptural art present in these caves have been undertaken though studies focusing on architecture and chronology have been going on for almost a century and a half. In studies conducted, sculptures tend to carry the date of cave's architecture, which many a time does not synchronize. In this work, through comprehensive style analysis of sculptures, their chronologies have been deduced afresh and extend to the cave.
