Question

(Comprehension Passage)
The Ajanta caves, we were told, lay in the side of a ravine in wild and
desolate country some 350 miles to the northwest, at the extreme tip of
Hyderabad state where it touches the Bombay Province. Properly
speaking they were not caves at all, but temples which had been
excavated from the living rock by Buddhist monks. These monks had
first come to the ravine somewhere in the second century before Christ
and they had begun by hacking out the rock by hand and hurling it down
into the river below. Then, probably with large mirrors to reflect the
sunshine from the ravine outside, they set about the decoration of the
walls, the doorways and the ceilings. They continued for the next eight
hundred years, always painting and sculpturing Lord Buddha, but setting
him against an idyllic background of folk tales and the everyday life of
their own time. In much the same way as in the Italian Renaissance over
a thousand years later, the work was subsidised by the wealthy
merchants and the princes of the surrounding countryside.
