Hello dear friends, I Hope all of you must be doing good, few of you must be busy in daily stuffs....!!!
So after thinking alot, I decided to keep writing irrespective of up-vote or other things. Instead of leaving steemit platform, I also decided to write on diverse topics, so readers can enjoy.
Here is the first article in World Heritage Site Series- a man made marvel... Ajanta Caves.
The reason I choose Ajanta caves is it's closeness to my heart. Lets discuss about it-
Ajanta caves were rediscovered in year 1819 by a British Officer John Smith, The construction of caves goes back to 2nd century B.C.( approximately 200 years before birth of Jesus) and later construction between 400 TO 600CE (comman Era)
