History

Five Buddhist caves have been discovered at Hatya Guad, five-km from village Pagaria. This site is spread over two hills with a slightly deep valley between the two. Here structures have a vaulted roof and another solid stone pillars. At Binayaga hills, which are 16-km from Hatya Guad, is one cave in the shape of a stupa and the structure of its roof is in the form of a Chaitya similar to the caves at Ajanta. These structures came much after the Ashoka period.[1]

Buddhist Caves and Stupas: Jhalawar district is only part of the state where rock-cut caves can be seen. The ancient Buddhist caves at Kolvi are of considerable archaeological and historical value. The colossal figure of Buddha and exquisite carvings are noteworthy. Similar caves can also be seen at Vinaika, Hathiagor and Gunai, which indicates existence of a flourishing civilization several centuries ago and buddhist influence of the region. [2]
