In the earlier days, while passing through Rivona, a group of travelling Rishis or Buddhist monks decided to set-up their University here.Hence Rivona became the abode of the Rishis and evidence of this can be found in the caves at Rivona.The caves known as the Rivona caves or the Pandava caves are carved out of a slab of overhanging laterite and are buried in the forest outside the village. Here one can see a pair of tiny rock-cut sanctuaries or the cells of the Buddhist monks.The Shri Yimleshwar temple located on the edge of the village near the turnoff for the caves is also worth a lookwhile in Rivona.
