A complex of 109 Buddhist temples cut out of rock, and a nice place to visit for history enthusiasts. The name "Kanheri" comes from Sanskrit Kr̥ṣṇagiri (कृष्णगिरि), meaning "black mountain". Most of the caves here were Buddhist viharas, which are meant for living, studying and meditating. The larger caves functioned as chaityas, or halls for congregational worship. The institution was also associated with trade centres like Sopara, Kalyan, Nashik, Paithan and Ujjain.
