Swan Ceiling Design Painting | Ajanta Cave 1

This features an ornate composition with a central white lotus and an elegant, mythical golden bird, known in Indian tradition as a hamsa (swan) or annapakshi, against a warm, textured brown background. The bird is depicted with its head tilted back, perhaps singing or communicating with the divine. The ceiling of Ajanta Cave 1 is renowned for its elaborate, non-religious decorative patterns, featuring intricate motifs of geometric shapes, flora (flowers, fruits, foliage), animals, birds, and figures.
