The Yana cave complex consists of two black-coloured ant-hill-shaped gigantic hills named Bhairaveshwara Shikhara and Mohini Shikhara, situated just above the Sahyadri mountain range. Both shikaras, or hills, are created naturally from black karst limestone.
The Lord Shiva cave temple is situated at the gateway of Bhairaveshwara Shikhara, with water constantly dripping over the sculpture. The sculptures of Lord Shiva at the temple are popularly believed to have evolved under natural conditions, and people visit the Yana shrine to experience this miraculous sight.
