Ajanta cave 19 is a magnificent Chaitya having a remarkably detailed facade; elaborated with pilasters, depicting scenes from Buddha's life, Jataka tales, Bodhisattva, entourages, and decorative patterns. The Cardboard Cave depicts the rather distressed look of the same where the details of the facade have gone, the sculptures have cleft and the cave itself is in a fragile state.The artwork is made in 16 parts adjoined in interlocked format. Around 10,000 cardboard cut-outs have been put together to make this giant artwork. It consists of 22 statues which depict different phases of Buddha's life.
