The best known cave is the chaitya prayer hall with comparatively large stupa , the other cave is monastery vihara. Both the caves contain some carvings although are less ornate than later caves. Both caves are facing east wards so it is recommended to visit the caves early morning, as in sunlight the beauty of carvings is enhanced. Until around 1861 the caves were regularly maintained even painted. These works were ordered by local authorities in order to please United Kingdom British officers who often visited caves. This has caused loss of the remnants of plaster with murals on it. Bedse Caves are comparatively less known and less visited.
