Bahrot Caves

The Bahrot Caves are located in the Bahrot Mountains which is situated 20 km south of Sanjaan near Dahanu city. The mountains are 1500 feet high. The brave Zarathosti ancestors hid themselves from the Muslim invaders among these mountains. They were in hiding for 13 long years. This incident took place in the year 1351 AD. The Iranshah Flame was also taken by the Zarathosti to Bahrot.
