Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Ajanta caves are artificial (artificial) caves created by digging mountains and decorating the inside with paintings. Buddhist monks lived there. Since the caves are dark, the images may have been made under torches or fire. The paints used are of plant and mineral origin and date back 1500 years. We can see the skilful work of these artists in Ajanta paintings, but their names are still unknown. After the Barabar caves, great efforts were made to build sacred caves in western India until the 6th century AD. However, the polishing of the cave walls was abandoned, never to be revived.
The correct statement would be Ajanta caves are artificial caves.
