  • This Buddhist monastery is located in the eastern suburb
    of Andheri in the city of Mumbai (Bombay) in western
    India.[2] The monument consists of two groups of
    rock-cut caves - four caves more to the north-west and
    15 caves more to the south-east. Most caves are viharas
    and cells for monks, but Cave 9 of the south-eastern
    group is chaitya. Caves in the northwest have been
    created mainly in the 4th - 5th century, while the
    south-eastern group is older. The monument contains
    also rock-cut cisterns and remnants of other structures.
    Caves are carved out of a solid black basalt rock,
    (volcanic trap breccias, prone to weathering)
    The largest cave at Kondivite (Cave 9) has seven
    depictions of the Buddha and figures from Buddhist
    mythology but all are mutilated.[3]
    It is located near the junction between the
    Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road and SEEPZ. The road
    that connects these monuments to Andheri Kurla Road
    is named Mahakali Caves Road after it. The caves are
    located on a hill that overlooks the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli
    Link Road and the SEEPZ++ area.
    [4] A Direct bus run by
    the BEST links the caves with Andheri station. The caves
    were in danger of being encroached upon, but now it is
    steel fenced on the roadside and walled on the hillside
    A must visit place in Mumbai!!
