Kanheri CavesThe Kanheri Caves are a group of caves and rock-cut monuments cut into a massive basalt outcrop in the forests of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, on the island of Salsette in the western outskirts of Mumbai, India.

Kanheri comes from the Sanskrit Krishnagiri, which means black mountain.
