Bagh Buddhist Caves are a group of ancient rock-cut caves located near the town of Bagh in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. Dating back to the 5th–6th century CE, these caves were carved during the Gupta period and served as Buddhist monasteries and prayer halls. The caves are renowned for their beautiful wall paintings and murals, which are considered contemporaries of the Ajanta cave paintings and reflect high artistic excellence of early Indian art. Excavated from red sandstone cliffs along the Bagh River, the caves include viharas and chaityas adorned with intricate carvings and decorative elements. As an important center of Buddhist art, culture, and monastic life, the Bagh Buddhist Caves are a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts, archaeologists, and travelers exploring India’s ancient heritage.
