Ancient Buddhist monument situated in Maval Taluka, the Bedse caves date back to 2300 years. Believed to be built by Emperor Ashoka- the great emperor of Maurya dynasty that ruled the entire Indian sub-continent from 269 to 232 BC, the Bedse caves basically operated as a meditation place for Buddhist monks.

Located at a distance of 15 kilometres from the Kamshet railway station, reaching the caves requires a little hike. The trail is scenic and offers excellent sights of the peaceful village and verdant nature.

There are two eastward facing caves known as viharas and the main cave has a stupa- domed shaped structure inside it. The spring water tanks, wall paintings, Yamai temple andVaghoba temple are top highlights of the cave.

Visit the caves and you will b lost in a time long ago gone by!

    Here is a link to the video of Bedse caves I created during my visit. This will give you a good perspective of what to expect. https://youtu.be/kp1CQX13cpU I live close to this beautiful place and have visited a number of times. Best time to visit is during sunrise as these are east facing caves.
