Kanheri caves

! HAPPY 75th INDEPENDENCE DAY INDIA !

Between a rock and a hard place. The Kanheri caves.

The Kanheri Caves are a group of caves and rock-cut monuments cut into a massive basalt outcrop in the forests of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, on the former island of Salsette in the western outskirts of Mumbai, India. They contain Buddhist sculptures and relief carvings, paintings and inscriptions, dating from the 1st century CE to the 10th century CE. Kanheri comes from the Sanskrit Krishnagiri, which means black mountain. Wikipedia.

Stupas in caves


Small stupas in Kanheri caves in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivali.
The stupa itself is a symbol of the Buddha, and more accurately, of his enlightened mind and presence. The mound itself is said to represent the form of the seated Buddha, meditating and striving towards enlightenment.
