Kondivite Caves (Mahakali caves) are an integral part of Ancient Buddhist culture. This Buddhist caves are 2000 years old. Like the Kondivite Caves ( Mahakali caves ), there are many ancient caves which are known for Ancient Buddhist art culture.
But due to encroachment on many Buddhist caves for many years, they have been lost, however their names have also been changed. Therefore, today they are known by different names.
So, as an Indian citizen, I want to appeal, that if people visit this place for tourism, then this tour should be done keeping in mind that this is a Buddhist shrine. And respect it.
Especially do not treat this place as picnic spots, selfie points,wedding shoots places, Film shoots places, etc. Also, a genuine request as to not consume alcohol, smoke cigarette, or any such drugs, and especially if the young generation of passion come to visit, it should not be considered a couples point and behave appropriately.
I hope that as Indian citizens, we should support the Indian government in saving our Indian art and culture.

The Kondivite Caves, also mahakali Caves, are a group of 19 rock-cut monuments built between 1st century BCE and 6th century CE.
This Buddhist monastery is located in the eastern suburb of Andheri in the city of Mumbai (Bombay) in western India. Monument consists of two groups of rock-cut caves - 4 caves more to the north-west and 15 caves more to the south-east. Most caves are viharas and cells for monks, but Cave 9 of south-eastern group is chaitya. Caves in north-west have been created mainly in 4th - 5th century, while south-eastern group is older. Monument contains also rock-cut cisterns and remnants of other structures.
Caves are carved out of a solid black basalt rock,(volcanic trap breccias, prone to weathering).
The largest cave at Kondivite (Cave 9) has seven depictions of the Buddha and figures from Buddhist mythology but all are mutilated.
The road that connects these monuments to Andheri Kurla Road is named Mahakali Caves Road after it. The caves are located on a hill that overlooks the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road and the SEEPZ++ area.
A Direct bus run by the BEST links the caves with Andheri station. The caves was in danger of being encroached upon, now it is steel fenced on the road side and walled on the hill side.
