Uparkot Buddhist Caves
બૌદ્ધ ગુફાઓ
Three-tiered Buddhist monastery caves from the 2nd to 4th centuries CE, with finely carved pillars; they are among the oldest remains inside Uparkot Fort.
These caves were carved around the 2nd to 4th centuries CE across three levels. They were originally cells and assembly halls for Buddhist monks, and they preserve carved stone pillars, water cisterns and fine capital decoration, making them an important early Buddhist heritage site in Gujarat. They are managed by the Archaeological Survey of India and require a separate ticket, with a higher price for foreign visitors. Located inside Uparkot Fort near the Jama Masjid, a visit takes about 30 minutes.
