Buddhist Caves, Junagadh Overview

The Buddhist Caves in Junagadh aren't natural caves but rooms carved directly out of rock, once used as quarters for Buddhist monks. The oldest among them, the Khapara Kodia caves, date back to the 3rd-4th century AD and are the plainest and simplest of the cave groups in design.

They were carved into living rock during the reign ofï_Emperor Ashoka and are considered the earliest monastic settlement in the area. Another set of caves, Baba Pyara caves lie close to the Modhimath, which has four caves in its northern group.
