He then worked under Godfrey Sykes on the decorative work for the South Kensington Museum, now the V&A, where one of his fellow assistants was John Lockwood Kipling, who became a life-long friend (Griffiths was also to become godfather to Kipling's son, Rudyard). The two of them were persuaded to go out to India on a three-year assignment, and in 1865 they sailed for Bombay, where they worked together for ten years at the Bombay School of Art. It was also under Griffiths's superintendence that much of the decoration of the new public buildings of Bombay was designed. After a decade in Bombay, Griffiths was appointed Principal of the Mayo School of Art and Curator of the Museum in Lahore, now in Pakistan. After his retirement in 1895, Griffiths lived firstly in Wales and then near Sherbourne in Dorset.One of his major works was the copying of paintings in the Buddhist temples at Ajanta which were published in two large folio volumes The paintings in the Buddhist Cave Temples at Ajanta.
