The History of the Cave City:

The cave city of Gondrani is an ancient cave community that was made in the eighth century. It was made by a community of Buddhists to practice their religion and meditate. The caves of Gondrani are made from hard, solid rocks and they have different stories. Every cave has different levels and a different structure. But the beautiful thing about these is that they are all connected by a path or alley. Every cave leads to another. One of the prominent features about this cave is that they all have small cabins and rooms with old conventional fireplaces and lamp holders. The fireplaces and lamp holders are still there to observe, and they are being appreciated by tourists or families who visit it. The caves are not well kept and they are decreasing in numbers, about 1000 of the caves have already been turned to dust. It won’t be long before we lose our cave city.
