The larger caves among the Kanheri Caves called the Chaityagrahas were used as halls of worship and religious congregations during the olden times. These halls are rectangular in shape and are adorned with stone pillars, each of which has their own unique construction style and no similarity to another. There is a row of 34 pillars that divide the Grahas and have intricate carvings of Buddha and the Bodhisattvas.
