Kondana Caves, Kondana village, Maharashtra, India.

The Kondana Caves are a group of 9 Buddhist caves excavated out from basalt rock in the 1st century BC.









The Kondane gathering of caverns, first brought to see in the nineteenth century by Vishnu Sastri ji, and after visited by Mr. Law, at that point authority of Thana. They are even with a lofty scarp, and very stowed away from see by the thick timberland before them. Water streams down over the substance of the stone above them during a significant part even of the dry season, and has enormously harmed them. To such an extent in fact that it is currently hard to decide if they or the caverns at Bhaja are the soonest. They should be almost, if not exactly contemporary, and as they probably set aside some effort to uncover, their dates may cover somewhat. The Vihara at Kondane surely looks more present day, while the Chaitya, which is practically the same in arrangement and measurements to that at Bhaja, is such a lot of demolished that it is unimaginable currently to conclude which may have been first finished.
