The caves are believed to be 2,400 years old and are adorned with murals from the Buddhist era. The caves were first used by Buddhist monks for meditation, later by Hindu sadhus, and then by Muslim ascetics during the Mughal period. The village of Shah Allah Ditta, where the caves are located, is named after a Mughal-era dervish.
