D
Ellora
Explanation
The painting of Bodhisattva Padmapani is a world-renowned masterpiece of Buddhist mural art located in Cave 1 of the Ajanta Caves, dating back to the late 5th century CE. While Ellora is a nearby UNESCO site often confused with Ajanta, it is primarily celebrated for its monumental rock-cut architecture and sculptures rather than the delicate, narrative fresco-style paintings found at Ajanta.
