Ghorawadi Caves, Buddhist cave monument in Pune district, India.
The Ghorawadi Caves contain nine meditation chambers carved from solid rock, featuring detailed inscriptions and religious sculptures throughout the complex.
Dating back to the 3rd and 4th centuries CE, these caves include a chaityagriha dedicated to Buddha and the Samgha by the daughters of Dhapar.
The caves demonstrate the transition from Buddhism to Hinduism, with ancient Buddhist meditation rooms now housing Hindu deities like Vitthal and Rakhumai.
The cave complex sits 25 kilometers northwest of Pune near National Highway 4, making it accessible for visitors exploring Maharashtra's archaeological sites.
The name Ghoradeshwar derives from the Marathi words for Indian Bustard and Lord, connecting the site to both natural and spiritual elements.
