About
Kolvi Caves, or Kholvi Caves, are located at Kolvi village of Jhalawar district in the state of Rajasthan, India. They are on a hill carved out of laterite rock. This Buddhist site has stupas and chaityas containing figures of the Buddha. One architectural style shows the dominance of a Mahyana sect in this region, circa 8th-9th century CE. Around 50 caves have been found here. The caves have statues of the Buddha in meditation and standing positions. The stupas and colossal statues of Buddha are archaeologically significant.
