Description
Explore Kanheri caves to see Buddhist sculptures and relief carvings, paintings, and inscriptions, dating from the 1st century B.C.
The Kanheri or Kanhasela Caves are a major point of interest, presenting an accessible and interesting glimpse into the history and culture of Buddhism in India. Most of these 109 Buddhist caves, chiseled out of the volcanic rock, are simple small chambers, known as viharas (cells for monks). A few are larger and deeper chambers known as chaityas (for congregational worship).
The main cave has a colossal Buddha, 7 meters in height, on each side of the entrance, as well as a colonnade of 34 pillars surrounding the interior halls and a stupa (shrine) at the far end, all carved into the existing basaltic rock. Your 6-hour tour from Mumbai with a private driver and guide will show you all these highlights, and more.
