Gandharpale Caves, Buddhist cave complex in Raigad district, India.
The Gandharpale Caves consist of 31 rock-cut chambers situated along the Mumbai-Goa Highway near the confluence of Savitri and Gandhari Rivers.
Archaeological studies indicate these caves were constructed between 150 and 300 AD during the reign of Prince Vishnupalita Kambhoja.
The caves contain multiple sculptures of Buddha, Bodhisattvas, and symbolic motifs, including a wheel and deer design beneath the main figures.
Visitors need to climb stone steps for fifteen minutes to reach the upper sections of the caves, which are located 105 kilometers south of Mumbai.
Cave number eight features a high stupa structure, while an inscription in Brahmi script documents donations from local bankers to the Buddhist Sangha.
