Hinayana & Mahayana Sects: There are many sects of Buddhism in the world but among them Hinayana and Mahayana are the major sects. Once we understand the Hinayana and Mahayana sects it becomes easy to understand these caves. After the Mahaparinirvana of Lord Gautama Buddha, for about 100 years, Buddhist monks and followers of Buddhism practiced according to the original thoughts of Gautama Buddha. At that time, Lord Gautama Buddha was worshiped in the form of a stupa. There is such a stupa in Chaitya Caves in Aurangabad. Also, there are no Idols carved on the wall of this Chaitya cave, because idol worship was not acceptable at that time, but at the same time there were some followers among these followers who thought that Lord Gautama Buddha was an incarnation of God. Similarly, during the reign of Emperor Kanishka, one hundred years after Lord Gautama Buddha's Mahaparinirvana, a religious council was held in India. In this religious council, there were internal disputes a...
