Karla is one of the most famous specimen of Buddhist rock cut architecture. The main chaityagriha (prayer hall), one of the largest in India, is very significant from architectural, sculptural and inscriptional points of view. Bhaja caves have one of the earliest rock-cut excavated chaityagrihas in Maharashtra. There is only one chaityagriha and the rest are viharas (residential caves). Bedse caves were excavated during 1st century BC. It is considered as an important stage in development of Buddhist cave architecture.
