Dharashiva Caves

Dharashiv caves are a series of old rock cut caves built around fifth century AD. Researchers say that they were originally Buddhist caves and were later patronized by Jains.

A couple of caves are serving as Jain temples and they are somewhat maintained. Other caves are in very bad condition and requires upkeep. No guards are posted for security and no guides are available.

The landscape and terrain are awesome. Need a couple hours to visit including transit time from Osmanabad. Single females better avoid. Open round the clock. No gate, no guards or time keepers. Free for all.

These are ancient caves and it is near to Osmanabad city. It has lot of ruins of monuments and statues, it has some untouched statues as well.
But this ancient place is not maitained properly by local authorities, lot of goons roam here openly. It is not safe place for solo woman as well as couples to visit.. whole caves can be covered within an hour..

A good to visit place near to Solapur but only during monsoon. Nothing much to see or explore. Also the caves are not in a good condition, you definitely cannot enter inside any untill you are an archaeologist 😂. All the caves are filled with bats and many more animals and insects. The place is not properly maintained, anything written on the walls with pain. In short, a historical site has been harmed very badly. It's not worth that visit.

This place is not that good. This place is not ideal to go with family. There's nothing to see much because people have written many unpleasant things on the monuments. Only few sculptures are there, some greenary and shallow stream is there which is watchable and soothing.
If you want to calm yourself and want to detach yourself from the core of the city you can come here. Coming alone here might be kind of dangerous as it is drastically peaceful and planned ambushing favourable place.

Place is good one, but people create mess by making graffiti and throwing garbage, and I think govt or somebody make it worse by building new structure which is not resemble at all with such great historical place

Nice place but visit in rainy season.

Very disappointed the this site is maintained. People doesn't know the importance of such places. Don't understand why they have to write on every wall and destroy it's historical footprints. Archeological Survey of India should take responsibility to take care of this site.

Best Buddhist Caves in usmanabad, hidden gem. But its very sad that its not maintained properly.
