The Bhaja Caves are a group of 22 rock-cut caves dating back to the 2nd century B.C. Explore the ancient viharas (Buddhist monasteries) and chaitya-grihas (Buddhist assemblies or prayer halls), considered to depict the earliest architecture of their kind. Admire the highly decorated facade and the series of unique reliefs depicting Indian mythology, including stories of the Sun God Surya.
