Il y a trois grottes bouddhiques, soit une chaitya et deux viharas. Les grottes ont été creusées au VIe siècle, et ont été influencées par le Bouddhisme Mahayana. On y trouve une inscription donatoire d'un ministre de la dynastie des Vakatakas. L'inscription mentionne le Buddha, le Dharma et le Sangha. Selon la Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation l'accès aux grottes est plutôt difficile. (fr)
