In Mumbai, there are more than 100 caves at Kanheri of which many of them have beautiful carvings. One of the interesting cave among them is Cave No. 34. This cave dates between to 5th – 6th centuries A.D.
This cave has a open courtyard in the front with pillars that are carved a little.
This is the only cave where remains of paintings are found on the ceiling.
Here Buddha is shown in Bhumi-Sparsha-Mudra. This is only seen in paintings here but not as carvings.

This looks like a fascinating site. I'm glad it has been preserved.
This is most interesting. I love the cave painting - and it does look old!
Amazing! That's certainly not what I think of when I hear the word "cave."
