It took seven years to complete and was of monumental scale. On both sides of the Jama Masjid, there is a pagoda made of red sandstone and white marble. There are three floors in each pagoda, each floor has a balcony and a hall, and there are spacious niches in the hall, which is the place for imam worship.

The Ajanta Caves, an ancient Indian Buddhism grotto, were built in the 2nd to 1st century BC, of which there are 29 in total, which are distributed in the form of a letter U in the mountainside. Among them, No. 9, 10, 19, 26 and 29 are Buddhist halls, and the rest are rooms for monks. It is renowned for the exquisite decorative murals inside the grottoes, among which the number 1 grotto is the most beautiful. It is also where you can see the symbolic Padmapani.
