These caves are about 4kms away from the National Park at
Borivli. These caves were cut out from a hillside in the middle part
of the 2nd century A.D. and are typical forms of Buddhist
architecture. There was a large scale execution of the sculptures
.These were the dwelling places of the Buddhist monks and were known
as Viharas. The caves are surrounded by a thick foliage of trees and
clear stream ripples down through it. Here there are no actual
representations lord Buddha; only the symbols of his religion are
depicted.
