Very ancient caves, there is a Shiva temple inside. Very neatly maintained. Must visit place
This is a very old rock cut caves devoted to lord Shiva. At present the same is looked after by archeological survey of India. It was in a bad condition. Now the place has made neat and clean. People are thronging the place on shivratri period . Entry to this place is free to the public
The Cave was dedicated to Lord Shiva. Local says that Lord Shiva himself appeared in the form of Shiva Linga called Swayambhu. Most of the part of Cave(Temple) seems like it was destroyed intentionally by outsiders. At Pravesh Dwaar one of the walls of the cave there is a cross of Jesus drawn over the sculpture and on the opposite wall there was a sculpture of Hindu God which is also destroyed. At the top of the cave there is a crematory of Christ's shows the intention of Portuguese. The pillars of the temple also destroyed Some parts of the temple are visible. By looking at Cave you can only talk about destruction. No history available about the cave on the internet.
Very badly maintained buddhist era caves.
Its a shame that such historic sites are not maintained.
The main cave is now converted into a temple (like every other monument in this country)
Guess UNESCO and ASI are sleeping..

It was a superb temple, I've ever visit which was made by human workers.. it should be surveyed by ASI as there was a crematory of Christ's above the temple..
There was a beautiful cave which can be further developed for common people..

I went here for the celebration of kartik purnima last week. Hindus celebrate this grand fest by lighting diyas, having folk dance and making colorful rangolis.
There were hundreds of students gathered to celebrate this festival.
Located in IC colony of Borivali this Caves are more than 1500 years old.
It has a temple of lord shiva.

Fantasticly preserved caves, helpful guide insisted on showing us round, would take no money. One little cave was inhabited by bats which you could see fluttering around. Obviously have to remove shoes but floor was fine to walk on. Worthwhile visit.
