Located in Borivali, Mandapeshwar Caves date back to the 8th century and have shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. These caves, believed to be originally built and sculpted by the Buddhists monks, eventually gave shelter to the soldiers of WW1, and Portuguese armies. Now protected by ASI (Archaeological Survey of India), these lesser-known caves make for a great cultural outing.
