GOA GAJAH
The historic Goa Gajah, which means elephant cave, is thought to have been a Buddhist center, dating back before the 10th century. The famous features are the stone carvings that comprise the archway entrance of a cave as well as the large baths. The prevailing thought about the origin of the name “Goa Gajah” as it applies to the cave is that the stone relief at the cave’s entrance appears, in part, like an elephant.
