Jogeshwari Caves is the best caves I have ever seen there is lots of things to learn You can see cool carvings and statues inside that people made a really long time ago. It's like stepping into a time machine! But sometimes, the caves need some fixing up to keep them nice. Still, it's a neat place to visit if you like old stuff and history.

Jogeshwari Caves is one of the most fascinating places I have visited in recent times.
You can see the cravings on stone our history.
The only thing I didn't like was that the caves were not much maintained instead of being under the government of India undertaking.
There were major areas of improvement.
We visited in the morning, and were lucky enough to have Aarti of both Jogeshwari Devi and Mahadev.
The best time to visit is in the morning because then the sunrays make the morning more magnificent.
