  • This Is Nice Place. We are Proud of this caves.
  • The caves built much like the other Buddhist caves like Ajanta and Ellora are actually the temples of Lord Shiva. Each sculpture of Lord Shiva carries a message from the ancient Hindu epics. Its very sad that these are not preserved properly by us.
