There are more than 1200 caves in Maharashtra. Most of them are Buddhist. The cave excavation started from 200 BC and ended till 800 AD. All the caves were carved by Buddhist Sangh.

Answer / shrikant dabhade
I feel the Buddhist Sangh at Ajanta was responsible for
building Ajanta and this continued before the Christ,till
later than ninth century. It is not correct to subscribe
particular years for the making of the caves.Historians
have no idea about the working of Buddhist Sangha at
Ajanta, though one gets information from the
inscriptions, but regarding years it is doubtful.
