Buddhist Caves

 

These aren't exactly caves but rooms carved out of stones and were used as monk's headquarters. The oldest, the Khapara Kodia caves belong to 3rd-4th century AD and are plainest of all cave groups.

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.
