Jogeshwari Caves

The information in this post might be outdated

Dating back to 520-550 CE, Jogeshwari caves are inspired by the last leg of the Mahayana architecture (a Buddhist school of thought) and was later taken over by the Hindus. Located off the Western Express Highway in Jogeshwari, the locals here worship the idol of goddess Jogeshwari (after whom the locality is named too) and her footprints that can be seen inside the caves.

Popular For: Being one of the oldest cave temples in India, history and culture, carved pillars. 

How To Get There: Again, this one's easily accessible by public transport including train, buses or cabs. You can take a cab either from the Jogeshwari or Goregaon station.
