Panhalakaji Caves

#Cave in Dapoli

Panhalakaji Caves complex is located near Dapoli. It has close to 30 Buddhist Caves and many sculptures around. The caves are located on the Dapoli-Dabhil Pangari road and are nestled deep in the valleys, surrounded by
jungle and river which are filled with birds and reptiles.

The complex is like a mirroring of the art and culture of that time and is the best place for a history buff. The caves are carved in 3rd century AD by the Hinayana sect and have the inscriptions in Brahmi and Devanagari script. Later another Buddhist group, a Vajrayana sect, established cave 10 with their deities Akshobhya and Mahachandaroshana; and strengthened their practice in that region, in the 10-11th century AD. During Silahara rule they started worshiping Shiva and Ganpatya.
