Indian art conservation project uses nanotechnology to preserve ancient Ajanta Caves painting
- An image of an ancient mural – part of work that dates back two millennia – has been converted to special film and deposited in the Arctic World Archive
- Initially photographed by Indian art historian Benoy Behl in the early 1990s, it is potentially the first of many of his Ajanta photos destined for the archive
