Tibet is a major contributor to Buddhism in the form of its unique Buddhist philosophy and culture. Similar to other places in Asia, Tibet has had its own unique cultural relationship with India which spans thousands of years. Ajanta Caves are a significant place of worship for Tibetan Buddhist community.
Tibetan Buddhism forms a core part of Tibetan Culture and there was much cultural exchange between Ancient India and Tibet. Buddhism was brought to Tibet from India.
Tibetan Buddhism has had a significant cultural influence on Bhutan and bordering areas in India. His Holiness the Dalai Lama who is the most well-known exponent of Tibetan Buddhism has been at the forefront of cultural exchanges between Tibetan Buddhists and Buddhists in India.
Co-Founders of Ajantahc, Vedan Choolun and Ashwin Srivastav strongly believe that Ajantahc can help bring together Buddhists from all over Asia to reconnect and exchange culturally with those in India.
Ajanta’s purpose as laid out by Mayfair, London based Co-Founder Vedan Choolun is a unique initiative using state of the art AI techniques to digitally preserve 2nd Century BC Ajanta Cave Paintings to benefit generations to come.
