The Buddhist group of caves (1-13) located in the south are identified as the oldest, dating back to the 5th century. The most famous monasteries among this group are Cave 10- “Visvakarma”, a prayer hall with the divine image of Buddha set on the stupa and Cave 12-”Tintala”, a mon astery-cum-chapel is a three-storeyed building designed with painstaking skill out of rock.
