Barabar caves

In the record

The Barabar hills in Jehanabad contain rock-cut chambers excavated into granite. The district tourist index identifies the caves with the Mauryan period and the Ajivika tradition.

The finished interiors and the surrounding rocky hills are separate parts of the site: the chambers are worked stone, while the setting is a natural hill landscape.

Before you go

A separate district detail page gives a conflicting third-century AD date; that date and its Buddhist-origin claim are excluded.

Coordinates and visitor entrances have not been established; no map pin or live access claim is inferred.
