Nasik Caves

Okay, imagine a big mountain that's made of rocks and dirt. Now, inside that mountain, there are caves where people used to live a long, long time ago. These caves are called Nasik Caves.

People who lived in these caves a long time ago were called Buddhist monks. They believed in a religion called Buddhism, and they would go into these caves to pray and meditate. They would also live in the caves and teach other people about Buddhism.

The Nasik Caves are very special because they are very old. In fact, they were made over 2000 years ago! That's longer than you or I have been alive.

Inside the caves, there are statues of Buddha, who is a very important person in Buddhism. There are also carvings and paintings on the walls that show stories from the Buddhist religion.

Nowadays, people don't live in the Nasik Caves anymore, but they are still very important to people who practice Buddhism. And people can visit the caves to see the cool carvings and statues inside.
