Hi Friend, I am going to show you today Kanheri Caves. Kanheri Caves are a group of caves and rock-cut monuments cut into a massive basalt outcrop in the forests of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivali, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. They contain Buddhist sculptures and relief carvings, paintings and inscriptions, dating from the 1st century to the 10th century. Kanheri comes from the Sanskrit Krishnagiri, which means black mountain. The cave complex comprises 109 Caves. Each cave has a stone plinth that functioned as a bed. A congregation hall with huge stone pillars contains a stupa. Rock-cut channels above the caves fed rainwater into cisterns, which provided the complex with water. Once the caves were converted to permanent monasteries, their walls were carved with intricate reliefs of Buddha and the Bodhisattvas. Kanheri caves were built in the 1st century and had become an important Buddhist settlement on the Konkan coast by the 3rd century.
