32 caves of Ajanta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are some of the most important monuments of Buddhist history.
Built in the 3rd century BC during the reign of King Ashoka. It is the site of an ancient Buddhist settlement, known as Chintapalli.
Bedsa caves are said to be almost 2,300 years old and were supposed to have been used by Buddhist monks as shelter during the rainy season.
14 caves at Pitalkhora date back to the 3rd century BC, making them the earliest forms of rock architecture in the country.
Carved out of comparatively soft basalt rock in the Sihaychal range of mountains on the outskirts of Mumbai, these 12 rock-cut Buddhist shrines with 109 special entrances are one of the oldest caves in the country.
