Kuda Caves

Kuda Caves are located in the small village of Kuda, on the eastern side of the north shore of Murud-Janjira in south Konkan, India.

These fifteen Buddhist caves are small, simple, and were excavated in first century BCE.

[1] The verandah of Chaitya has several reliefs of the Buddha, carved with symbols of lotus, wheel and Nagas.

Later in 5th/6th century CE, the Buddhist branch of the Mahayana took over the caves and added their sculptures.

Other donors include an iron monger, a banker, a gardener, a writer, physician, a flower vendor and a minister.
