These caves located at Uperkot beyond the 300 ft deep moat, close to
Adi Kadi Vav, were carved in 2nd–3rd century A.D. These caves have influence of
Satavahana architecture with combination of
Graeco-Scythian style. According to
ASI "The cave group is in three tiers, with all members of each galleries shown in semi-relief, but only two storeys having regular floors. The caves at Uparkot are cut into two floors. On the first floor, there is a
Kunda, a deep tank about 11 feet square, with a covered verandah round three sides of it. There is a big chamber with six pillars supporting the roof adjoining it. Under the corridor, in the rest of the area, in the walls on the north-east and west sides are stone bench-recesses, divided into long compartments with a base moulded in architectural courses below, and a frieze above, ornamented with horseshoe shaped
chaitya windows and checker carvings. On the lower floor, there are similar rooms, having a corridor, pillars supporting the floor above, stone bench-recesses and above them, the
chaitya-window ornament. The lower floor has intricately carved pillars whose base, shaft and capital carry decorative design. The caves have pillars and entrances, water cisterns, horseshoe shaped
chaitya windows, an assembly hall and cell for meditation.
