| Ajanta Cave 12 is one of the earliest excavations in the Ajanta complex, representing the Hinayana phase of Buddhism. It features a plain rectangular hall with three cells on each side, used by monks for meditation. Lacking elaborate decoration, this rock-cut Vihara focuses on function over form and is important for its early Buddhist architectural style. It offers insight into the monastic life of the 2nd century BCE and serves as a historical and archaeological gem |
