Yerphal Caves, also Yerphale Caves, are a small group of Buddhist caves located near Umbraj, Maharashtra, India. The caves were only discovered recently, in 1979.[1] It is located not far from the Karad Caves (about 25 km).
The group contains a small chaitya hall with an apsidal plan with a stupa inside.[2][3] There are also two cells, and an unfinished cave. The caves can be dated to the first half of the 2nd century CE.[3]
