Bhadrabahu Cave

A cave on Chandragiri linked to the Jain monk Bhadrabahu and his disciple Chandragupta Maurya.

Bhadrabahu Cave sits on Chandragiri Hill and is associated with the monk Bhadrabahu, teacher and spiritual guide to Chandragupta Maurya after the emperor renounced his throne. Local tradition holds that Bhadrabahu meditated here in his final years, with Chandragupta following as his disciple nearby. The site carries more legend than architecture, but its connection to one of Jainism's most cited historical episodes draws visitors researching the hill's deeper history. It pairs naturally with a visit to Chandragupta Basadi.
