Bedsa Caves

Bedsa Caves or Bedse Caves are located in the Pune District. This is known for a Chaitya and Vihara of first century BC. In ancient India, in the search for the truth, the emphasis was always on the effort that one had to make to gain knowledge. As at Bedsa, the Chaitya is partly hidden from the profane world outside. The belief was that one could learn truly or deeply only when one made a special effort for that purpose.
