In the Pool of Imagination: Diving into Miraji’s “The Caves of Ajanta”

Miraji's poem 'The Caves of Ajanta' redefines imagination as a dynamic, impersonal terrain shaped by time and influenced by Buddhist self-conceptions. The study reveals that Miraji's work challenges traditional notions of individual identity and the geography of Ajanta itself, suggesting a fluid, permeable personhood. By analyzing the poem within his broader oeuvre, the research demonstrates how imagination can reshape categories of life and creativity, contributing to a deeper understanding of both literary and cultural landscapes.
