Review highlights
- Ancient rock-cut Jain caves with carved sculptures on the Ankai Fort hill in the Satmala range (part of the broader Ajanta hill system); an ASI-protected heritage site rather than an active temple - caves are now grille-gated and viewed through the doors rather than entered, per recent reviews. A good example of Maharashtra's lesser-known Jain cave heritage beyond Ellora (Batch 13).
