Perched quietly in the lush hinterland of South Goa, the Rivona Caves, often called the Pandava Caves and are ancient, rock-cut sanctuaries carved into laterite, dating to around the 6th or 7th century CE. Experts believe they were crafted by Buddhist monks as meditation retreats and places of teaching.

Usgalimal Rock Carvings
Tucked on the sandy banks of the Kushavati River at Rivona, the Usgalimal petroglyphs are one of Goa’s most remarkable prehistoric sites. Over a hundred figures, etched into laterite bedrock it include animals (likely bovids), human forms, spirals, concentric circles, labyrinth-like designs and other geometric motifs. The carvings were re-discovered in the 1990s and are now protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.
