The Bagh Caves are a group of nine rock-cut monuments, situated among the southern slopes of the Vindhyas in Bagh town of Dhar district in Madhya Pradesh state in central India. These monuments are located at a distance of 97 km from Dhar town. These are renowned for mural paintings by master painters of ancient India. The use of the word "cave" is a bit of a misnomer, since these are not natural, but instead examples of Indian rock-cut architecture. They are believed to have been built during the 5th-7th century. Archaeological Survey of India has restored the place over 17 years.

  • Les grottes de Bagh sont un groupe de neuf monuments taillés dans la roche, situés sur les pentes sud des Vindhyas, dans la ville de Bagh, dans le district de Dhar, situé dans l'État de Madhya Pradesh au centre de l'Inde. Ces monuments sont réputés pour leurs peintures murales de maîtres peintres de l'Inde ancienne. L'utilisation du mot « grotte » est un peu impropre, car elles ne sont pas naturelles, mais plutôt des exemples d'architecture taillée dans la roche. Les grottes de Bagh, comme celles d'Ajantâ, ont été mises au jour par des maîtres artisans sur la paroi rocheuse en grès perpendiculaire d’une colline sur la rive opposée d’un ruisseau saisonnier, le Baghani. D'inspiration bouddhiste, sur les neuf cavernes, seules cinq ont survécu ; ce sont toutes des viharas (lieux de repos dans (fr)
