Dhank Caves

The Dhank Caves are located near Dhank village near Upleta, Rajkot district, Gujarat, India [1]. The caves are influenced by Buddhist and Jain cultures [1]. The Jain cave includes figures of Adinath, Shantinath and Pārśva [1]. These are considered to be the earliest Jain sculptures in Kathiawad [1]. Dhank Caves represent a rare convergence of Buddhist and Jain traditions at a single rock‑cut complex [1].
