Mahakali caves in Mumbai are carved out of solid basalt rock. They are also known as viharas or cells for monks. The monks used to stay in these cells. But cave no 9 of the southeastern group is a chaitya or a prayer hall. The Mahakali caves in the northwestern part were carved out in the 4th or 5th century B.C whereas the caves in the southeastern wing are older.
