[1] This Buddhist monastery is located in the eastern suburb of Andheri in the city of Mumbai (Bombay) in western India.

Caves in the northwest have been created mainly in the 4th – 5th century, while the south-eastern group is older.

Caves are carved out of a solid black basalt rock, (volcanic trap breccias, prone to weathering).

The caves are located on a hill that overlooks the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road and the SEEPZ++ area.

The caves were in danger of being encroached upon, but now it is steel fenced on the roadside and walled on the hillside.
