The Jogeshwari Caves are a remarkable testament to early Buddhist rock-cut architecture, dating back to the 1st century BCE. The main cave houses a large shrine with intricate sculptures of Buddha and Bodhisattvas, while the surrounding complex includes a Hindu temple that remains active today. Visitors can wander through the dimly lit chambers, admiring the detailed carvings that blend Buddhist and later Hindu influences. The site offers a unique glimpse into Mumbai's layered religious history.
