 Sculptures in the Cave-temple at Karli 

''One of the most famous cave-temples in India is that of Karli, about midway between Bombay and Poona. The sanctuaries are Buddhist in origin and are of unknown antiquity. The detail and finish of the carvings is marvellous, and the sculptures have fortunately been preserved almost in their original perfection.''
