Captivating ancient art
Love bhuddist heritage from iran
So chill! No music, just serene footage and a soothing, informative narrator. Thank you!
It boggles the mind to see all these wonderful Buddha’s carved out of rock. It’s just awesome 👏.
Beautiful. The planning and the time involved shows how devoted the makers were.
Beautiful !!
Absolutely superb video on the history of Buddhist sculptural art in India. Countless images enrich the video with expert explanations. A must see video for all to see.
Wonderful rock cutting structure. Hundreds years ago have done these very smothly. Than was not any high technology. It really thinkable. Thank you sir, for good describe & expression. .......... From Bangladesh.

I was very fortunate to have visited Ajunta and Ellora Caves in early February 2020. Exquisite and inspiring works of prayer ...through sculptural art. I wish I had the narrator of the documentary with me while there; a thorough scholarly/ historical presentation. Thank you Sir. I'm very happy to re-visit these Caves here at home now ( via this documentary) as the world is under lockdown due to Covid-19. Stay healthy readers. Namaste from Canada.
BINOY ,FANTASTIC WORK. I KNOW YOuR WRITINGS. BUT IN FILM, ALSO YOU PRESENTED IT IN a great and historically right way. hope the students of indian art and philosophy wl watch this. thanks.
Namo buddhay
all these beautiful caves and sculptures made without computers. I love the richness in its details and expressiveness. If this was made with computer someday it would be horribly symmetric geometric forms the deities would be sterile looking and symmetric. There would not be life on earth if everything was symmetric.
This is glorious.📿
Thanks Mr. Binoy k Bhel for the great documentery you made.
Thank you will not be enough for such a great documentary. May buddha bless you with love and peace in your family , may you get enlightenment like buddha.
The best art of all, the rock cutting is extremely wonderful and the most awesome art in this world.
This one of the comprehensive work for Budhist history explaination

Naic information
I do not agree that the buddha reaching nirvana (reclining buddha) is best seen from his feet. As your video shows evidently, it's best seen from looking directly at the face from a distance. I understand you meant this as a reverence but it is by not making buddha a god that he can be the most compassionate to us. You should not put a hierarchy distance between you and him, that would be disrespecting his teaching of oneness of the world.
