Kuda Caves
Kuda Caves are a remarkable group of ancient Buddhist rock-cut caves located in the Janjeera Hills near Kuda village in the Raigad district of Maharashtra. These caves date back to the 1st century BCE and comprise 26 caves, which were primarily used by Buddhist monks for meditation and living.
The Kuda Caves are known for their intricate carvings, inscriptions, and paintings. The walls of these caves have beautiful drawings and elaborate patterns, with inscriptions that describe the donations made to the Buddhist monks by the locals, including writers, ministers, physicians, and gardeners.
One of the notable features is the Chaitya (prayer hall) that includes several reliefs of the Buddha, carved with symbols of the lotus, wheel, and Nagas. The elephants carved at the entrance of the sixth cave are particularly captivating.
The best time to visit Kuda Caves is between October and March, when the weather is pleasant. The surrounding area also offers additional attractions such as Tala Fort, Murud Beach, Murud Janjira Fort, and several other picturesque spots within a 40 km radius.
