File:2nd To 7th-century Siyot Caves, Atdo Kutch, Gujarat 078.jpg
The main cave is notable for short Brahmi inscriptions and the 5th to 7th-century seals discovered with image of the Buddha. This evidence proves that the Siyot caves became and were used by Buddhists. The Siyot Caves are an example of a non-Buddhist pre-existing structure that was adopted and expanded by Buddhists.

The Siyot site is near Kateshwar (Ghaduliya), between Lakhpat and Bhuj. Kateshwar has two Hindu temples as well as several additional caves. The Siyot and Kateshwar sites are typically studied together.
