Ajanta Cave 11 is a simple Buddhist monastery (Vihara) from the early phase of the Ajanta cave complex, located in Maharashtra, India. This rock-cut cave features a pillared veranda, plain hall, and monastic cells used for meditation and spiritual retreat. With minimal ornamentation, it reflects the practical architecture of early Buddhist monks and their austere lifestyle. Though modest, it holds significance in the evolution of Buddhist rock-cut architecture and offers valuable insight into the Hinayana tradition.
