Ghatotkacha Cave, Buddhist cave complex in Maharashtra, India
The Ghatotkacha Cave features three distinct Buddhist chambers carved into rock, including one chaitya hall and two viharas for residential purposes.
The cave complex dates back to the 6th century AD, with inscriptions from Varahadeva, a minister under King Harishena of the Vakataka dynasty.
The cave walls display detailed Buddhist carvings and sculptures that represent the artistic and religious expressions of ancient Indian civilization.
Located 18 kilometers west of Ajanta, the cave requires advance travel arrangements and guidance due to its remote location in Maharashtra.
The cave contains an inscription discussing the three pillars of Buddhism while acknowledging the donor's Hindu background, showing religious coexistence.
