Rock-cut caves are natural or man-made cavities created by carving into solid rock. These caves can be found in various parts of the world and often serve as places of worship, living spaces, or storage. The process of creating rock-cut caves involves removing large amounts of stone, which can be labor-intensive and requires skilled craftsmanship. Many ancient civilizations, such as the Indus Valley Civilization and the Buddhist monks, utilized rock-cut caves for religious and residential purposes. Notable examples include the Ajanta Caves in India and the Petra site in Jordan. These caves often feature intricate carvings and paintings, showcasing the artistic abilities of their creators.
