Consider the following statements about Cave Tradition in Buddhist Art:

1. Karle has the largest rock cut Chaitya hall.

2. Junnar has the largest number of cave excavations.

3. Ellora has more number of Buddhist caves as compared to the Brahminical caves.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

• In Karle, the biggest rock-cut Chaitya hall was excavated. The cave consists of an open courtyard with two pillars, a stone screen wall to protect from rain, a veranda, a stone-screen wall as facade, an apsidal vault-roof chaitya hall with pillars and a stupa at the back. Karle Chaitya hall is decorated with human and animal figures. They are heavy in their execution and move in the picture space.

• One such vihara cave was also excavated at Junnar in Maharashtra, which is popularly known as Ganeshleni because an image of Ganesha, belonging to a later period was installed in it. Later, a stupa was added at the back of the hall of the vihara and it became a chaityavihara. The stupas in the fourth and fifth centuries CE have Buddha images attached.

• Junnar has the largest cave excavations — more than two hundred caves around the hills of the town — whereas Kanheri in Mumbai has a hundred and eight excavated caves.

• Ellora caves show the ongoing differences between Buddhism and Brahmanism. There are 12 Buddhist caves having many images belonging to Vajrayayana Buddhism, like Tara, Mahamayuri, Akshobhya, Avalokiteshwara, Maitrya, Amitabha etc. Buddhist caves are big in size and are of single, double and triple storeys. Ajanta also has excavated double storeyed caves, but at Ellora, the triple storey is a unique achievement. All the caves were plastered and painted, but nothing visible is left.

• The Brahmanical Cave Nos. 13–28 has many sculptures. Many caves are dedicated to Shaivism, but the images of both Shiva and Vishnu, and their various forms according to the Puranic narrative are depicted.
