Siyot Caves - Buddhist temple in Atdo - default, India

Caves are not maintained. It's not even worth visiting, roads is also not maintain, lots of ACACIA (Babul) which creates scratches on car I strongly suggest not to visit it's waste time.

The main cave has east facing sanctum, ambulatory and space divisions which suggests a Shiva temple from the first or second century.The cave was used by Buddhists later which can be concluded based on the seals found herein and the traces of Brahmi inscriptions. Other caves are simple single cells which were probably the part of eighty Buddhist caves located near the mouth of the Indus river as reported by Xuanzang in seventh century. Local people believe that these caves were used by dacoits to hide things looted from people in past. Excavations in 1988-89 recovered clay seals engraved with Buddha images in various mudras and seals engraved with late Brahmi and Devnagari inscriptions. Other findings were copper rings, Gadhaiya coins, terracotta Nandi with bell and chain, different types of earthen wares like Surahi. Based on stratigraphic evidence, it is established that the site was occupied by Buddhist before it was again occupied by Shaivaites around twelfth or thirteenth century.The site was repaired after 2001 Gujarat earthquake.

nothing to do any activity don't go to this place only one or two caves

It's a barren place, there is another cave nearby but we didn't go there

These small caves are historical place under occupation of archeology department. Worth visiting near Lakhpat if you have time and interest in histical places. But they are poorly maintained dur to lack of attention. There was nobody to look after the caves. There was also lack of cleanliness. A part of caves was covered with wild plants. Archeology department could have looked after it in better way.

A historical place and part of our heritage!! A cave with history of lord buddha!! Though it requires some attention and maintenance!! Place is near the kateshwar temple where you can rest and enjoy!! Though you need to visit the place before evening!! One thing which irritates is bats inside the caves!!

Siyot Caves located between Lakhpat Fort and Mata no Madh in Kuch Gujarat India. Not well maintained and approach is not very good but it is worth visiting.

This is not something which everyone love to visit except for the people who love archeological sites and history. My pov: this looks like a carved rock buddist 1bhk house with proper vaastu.
