[2] Around Kolvi village similar caves have been discovered which proves existence of prosperous Buddhist civilization in the region.

According to Cunningham, "another equally striking peculiarity about these topes is the possession of an excavated chamber for the reception of a statue.

They are, in fact, no longer stupas, but real temples, which differ only in their form from the common structural shrines of the Buddhists.

"[6] On the basis of this innovation they have been assigned a date later than the caves of Dhamnar and Bagh in Malwa ranging from 700-900 CE.

[6] The caves are in a state of natural weathering resulting in complete damage on the northern and eastern sides, but their remains are important in the architecture.
