The Dungeshwari or Mahakala cave temples are located about 15km from Bodhgaya city on the Pragbodhi Hills around River Phalgu in India. Gautama Buddha is said to have spent 6-7 years meditating in extreme asceticism and self-mortification which starved him to the edge of death, before he headed to Bodhgaya where he eventually was enlightened under the Bodhi tree
