Manmodi caves, Buddhist rock-cut caves in Junnar, India.
The Manmodi caves contain three distinct groups of excavations: Bhutalinga, Amba-Ambika, and Bhimasankar, each featuring different architectural elements carved into basalt rock.
Dating back to the 1st century CE, these caves include an inscription from 124 CE mentioning Ayama, a minister of the Western Satrap ruler Nahapana.
The cave complex displays a mix of Buddhist and Jain influences through its architectural elements, sculptures, and religious symbols carved into the rock walls.
Located 3 kilometers from Junnar town in Maharashtra, visitors can access the caves through local roads connecting to the main highway from Pune.
The Bhutalinga group contains an unfinished Chaitya cave with inscriptions from a Yavana donor, indicating international connections during ancient times.
