Aurangabad Caves were carved out of basalt rock during the 6th – 7th century which mainly depicts Buddhist preaching and is a very famous tourist destination of Aurangabad which attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world and is taken care by Archaeological Survey of India. Most of the caves are Viharas which tells us the stories of Jataka depicted through inscriptions in the Cave 4. And Cave 7 has inscriptions of bejeweled women, but the most notable attraction of these caves is the sculpture of Bodhisatva. These 12 caves have been divided into three separate groups depending on their location. The first group has Cave 1 to 5, second group has Cave 6 to 9 and third group has 10 to 12. There is about 500 meters distance between first and second group and the third one is slightly further on east. Cave 7 is the most popular cave of all and has the most ornate inscriptions. The central shrine is encircled with a corridor that has recesses carved with shrines of Buddhist gods. The front wall of the verandah has enchanting representation of a panel of litany of Avalokitesvara and Bodhisatva on both sides of the entrance. The litany of Avalokitesvara here is more detailed than those in Ajanata and Ellora Caves.
