'''Bagh''' is a [[census town]] in [[Dhar district]] in the state of [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[India]]. It is known for the [[Bagh Caves]], which are late 4th- to 6th-century Buddhist rock-cut chambers with murals. The name of the town stems from the caves - according to local legend there were living tigers (''bagh'' in several languages of India) in these abandoned Buddhist caves.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.wondermondo.com/Countries/As/India/MadhyaPradesh/Bagh.htm | title = Bagh Caves - rock cut Buddhist temples | access-date = 2010-04-23 }}</ref>

== History ==

In 1982, a hoard of 27 inscriptions issued by the [[Maharajas of Valkha]] was discovered at Risawala near Bagh. The inscriptions were issued from a place known as Valkha, which has led to suggestions that the name "Bagh" is derived from "Valkha". The inscriptions are dated to the years 38-134 of an unspecified [[calendar era]]. Historians [[D. C. Sircar]] and [[R. C. Majumdar]] theorized that the Maharajas of Valkha were subordinates to the Guptas, and the calendar era used in their inscription is the Gupta era starting from 319 CE.{{sfn|Shiv Kumar Tiwari|2002|pp=63-64}} Thus, the Maharajas of Valkha can be dated to 4th and 5th centuries CE.{{sfn|Archana Verma|2007|p=23}}

The next known ruler of the region is Maharaja Subandhu of [[Mahishmati]]. His [[Bagh Caves]] inscription is dated 167 (486 CE, assuming Gupta era).{{sfn|Archana Verma|2007|p=23}}{{sfn|Walter M. Spink|2005|p=37}} Art historian [[Walter M. Spink]] has identified Subandhu as the prince Vishruta mentioned in ''[[Dashakumaracharita]]''. According to his theory, Subandhu or Vishruta was a Gupta prince, who established the dynasty that later came to be known as [[Kalachuri]].{{sfn|Walter M. Spink|2005|pp=153-154}}{{sfn|Sara L.
