Siyot Caves
The Siyot Caves, also known as the Kateshwar Buddhist Caves, are a group of five rock-cut caves located near Siyot village in the Lakpat Taluka of Kutch district, Gujarat. These caves date back to the first century AD and are believed to have been part of the 80 monastic sites reported by the 7th-century Chinese traveler Xuanzang near the mouth of the Indus River.
The main cave features an east-facing sanctum, ambulatory, and space divisions, suggesting it was initially a Shiva temple. Later, the caves were used by Buddhists, as evidenced by the clay seals engraved with Buddha images and Brahmi inscriptions found during excavations. The site also yielded copper rings, Gadhaiya coins, terracotta Nandi, and various types of earthenware.
