JAB WE MET!                 It was a pleasing morning, the atmosphere around was absolutely charming… we headed towards Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary early in the morning from our residence at Nagpur. This was the time when, there were no such modern means of livelihood available at Nagzira. No TVs, no range to Mobile phones, no lights as well.                 My family has always been crazy about jungles and wildlife… I was few months child since, my family took me on safaris to the ultimate wildlife hotspots… while, I was quite fortunate in terms of the location of my residence….

THE ALCHEMY OF NATURE…                 The nature is always embedded with alchemy… The sun, the moon, the land, etc. is what the alchemy of nature is.

Scholars believed that the site dated to Chalukya period i.e. to 7 th Century A.D. The reason for this dialectics was just one scene located at the front wall of Cave no. 1 at Ajantha, clearly showing some kind of Royal Audience in the king’s court that was closely resembling an event that took place in 625 A.D. an ambassador from the court of Sassanian monarch Chosroes II visited the Chalukya Empire in Pulakeshi II’s reign. And thus, they concluded that the cave belongs to Chalukya Period i.e. the mid- seventh century A.D. but, then the question arose that Gharapuri Caves too belonged to 7 th Century A.D. but had more advanced architecture than that of Ajantha, it (Elephanta/ Gharapuri Cave) was now assigned to the 8 th century. There arose one more question, that wha...
