Jogeshwari Caves, Hindu cave temple in Mumbai, India

The Jogeshwari Caves contain multiple chambers with stone pillars, intricate wall carvings, and religious sculptures spread across different levels of the complex.

Dating from the 6th century during the Chalukya dynasty, these caves represent one of the earliest major Hindu cave temples constructed in the Indian subcontinent.

The cave walls display numerous sculptural panels depicting episodes from Shaivism, including the marriage of Shiva and Parvati, along with statues of Dattatreya and Hanuman.

Visitors can reach the caves via local trains to Jogeshwari station, followed by a short auto-rickshaw ride, with entrance fees of 15 rupees for Indians and 200 for foreigners.

The cave complex holds the distinction of being the largest cave temple in India by total length, featuring a combination of Hindu and Buddhist architectural elements.
