Fifth-century painters created stunning murals in dim man-made caves in India. Benoy K. Behl, a gifted photographer, brings them to light in National Geographic.
Behl visited the Ajanta caves 15 years ago with the challenge of photographing the murals inside using only natural light. After studying every crevice of the caves, he photographed several hundred other sites in India, focusing on rarely documented early murals.
