(Figure 19) Tiger- 'Six female singers in a circle surrounding the male figure' Today we can see copies of the above paintings in a barahadi of 'Gujri Mahal of Gwalior Fort'. 1)    Formation period of Bagh Caves The Bagh Caves are among the best examples of the Gupta period and their painting style is the basis of the Ajanta style. There are many controversies related to the construction of Bagh Caves, due to which it is very difficult to determine the different periods of creation of these caves, because the stone of the rocks here is also very soft, due to this, writings could not be engraved on it, nor Stone ornamentation and sculpture would have been possible and ultimately painting would have been the most suitable medium of expression. The painted evidence has also unfortunately been destroyed, only the letter 'K' is written in these caves. Art historian 'Vincent Smith' has considered the time of painting of these caves to be 626-628 AD
