Bedse Caves, Buddhist rock-cut caves in Pune district, India
The Bedse Caves consist of two primary chambers: a prayer hall with a large stone stupa and a monastery containing nine individual cells.
Dating from the first century BCE during the Satavahana period, these caves were constructed as Buddhist monastic residences for meditation and shelter.
The cave entrance displays detailed stone carvings of horses, bulls, elephants, and religious figures, representing early Buddhist architectural traditions.
Visitors can reach the caves through a 400-step climb from the base, with morning hours providing optimal lighting conditions for viewing the structures.
The monastery chamber features nine separate doorways, each framed with ornate stone arches leading to individual meditation cells for Buddhist monks.
