The Jaina and Buddhist monks travelled from one place to another; spreading the preaching of the enlightened ones. But traveling was not possible during rainy season. Hence, they had to stay at some place during rainy seasons. Many of their supporters built temporary shelters in gardens. Many monks also lived in natural caves in hilly areas. With gradual elapse of time, many monks and their supporters felt the need for a permanent shelter. So, monasteries were built for them. These monasteries were called the Viharas. Rich merchants, landowners and kings donated land and money for building the Viharas. Initially, the Viharas were made of wood. Later on, they were made of bricks. Some monasteries were built in caves; especially in the western part of India.
