Pohale Caves, also Pohala Caves or Pawala Caves, are a group of Buddhist caves located in Kolhapur District, Maharashtra, India, about 15 km northeast of Kolhapur.[1][2]
The caves are rather plain and were excavated in a rocky area near Jyotiba's hill.[1][2]
There is one large vihara, about square of about 34', with 14 columns on three sides and 22 cells around the central hall (7’ long, 5’ broad and 7’ high).[1] There is also a Chaitya, and one more cave with a raised rock-cut seat for a teacher, with a watern cistern.[1][2]
