They are locally known as the Gavali Raja houses. The rock generally overhangs the doorway and another rock rising in front forms a parapet. The first set of three caves open into each other. The middle cave is largest and square on plan. The walls are very thin and devoid of carvings, but chisel marks are noted all over. The next set of caves, also three in number consists of a large irregularly shaped central and two side caves divided by rock partitions.

Of these three caves the first is divided by two rows of regularly shaped pillars, with pilasters corresponding to them in the wall. The doorway has a shouldered lintel along with fluted and moulded doorframes having figures of male and female, mace bearers.
