File:19th century copy of 1st century BCE to 5th century CE Ajanta Cave 17 painting on top of doorway to the main hall.jpg

English: From the source,

The paintings inside the caves tell stories from the lives of the Buddha. This painting is copied from the top of the doorway leading into cave 17.

According to Zin's book, the Buddhas are all identifiable as the six Buddhas of the past, together with our Buddha Sakyamuni and the future Buddha Maitreya. Some of the Buddhas can be identified because of the trees that they sit under.

This painting is copied from the top of a doorway. It depicts a row of eight images of the Buddha. Each is separated from the other by a pillar. The Buddha images are all different with varied hand gestures, different backgrounds and trees under which they sit. Below the row of Buddhas is a line of floral decoration. Directly below this is a row of eight amorous couples. The figures are all dressed in fine fabrics. Two more strips of floral decoration follow and form the top of a doorway.
