India's Grandest Rock-Cut Chaitya The Karla Caves are a complex of ancient Buddhist rock-cut caves near Lonavala, Maharashtra, India, hewn between the 2nd century BCE and the 5th century CE beside a major Deccan trade route. Their centrepiece is the Great Chaitya (Cave 8), completed around 120 CE, the largest and most completely preserved rock-cut chaitya (prayer hall) of its era in India, with a soaring apsidal nave, an ornate 'sun window', a lion-topped Ashokan-style pillar, and rare surviving original wooden roof ribs.
