It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1983 according to the cultural heritage selection criteria(I) (II) (III) (IV). There are more secular themes, which are mixed with foreign Chinese and Persian styles. All aspects of social life are shown, such as imperial court feasting, hunting, pilgrimages, birds and beasts, exotic flowers and so and. A large number of real life scenes appear in the picture, indicating that the painting art for the service of religion has emerged a secular tendency. It reflects the aesthetic thought of Indian classical art. The carvings and murals of Ajanta Caves played a great role in the creation of fine arts in India in the future, and with the spread of Buddhism, they also had a great influence on the fine arts of other countries. In the 7th century, Xuanzang, a famous monk of Tang Dynasty in China, visited here in India. He wrote an exquisite and precise record of the visit. He wrote,''爱有伽蓝，基于幽谷，高堂邃宇，疏崖枕峰；重阁层台，背岩面壑’’.

异于埃洛拉石窟呈现了三种宗教的风貌，阿旃陀石窟只有佛教石窟，并以壁画闻名于世。值得一提的是，除了充满历史与艺术的石窟外，阿旃陀石窟所在地得天独厚，位在一个马蹄形溪谷中，石窟造于溪谷，面向瓦格河(Waghur)，郁郁葱葱，好不美丽。
