Cave 27 should be considered a part of Cave 26 as it connected to its monastic establishment. It was sponsored by Monk Buddhabhadra, a friend of Bhavviraja, a minister of the king of Asmaka. In 478CE. The landing and the verandah on the left side of the court of Cave 26 lead to a small hall, which has a shrine and an antechamber facing the entrance door. It consists of two stories; the upper one is partially collapsed. The front wall is divided into three compartments comprising of a nagaraja, a couple and a female standing on a makara with a bird perched on her right hand and her left handing resting on the head of a dwarf. The shrine has an image of Buddha in teaching attitude on its back wall. Of the cells around the hall, only four on the right half have survived. A major part of the left half of the hall has collapsed.

Cave 29 is an unfinished chaityagriha cut in the area high above Cave 21 at a time (469 CE) when there was no sufficient space remaining for such a hall at the site’s main level. It was possibly, Upendragupta, the sub-king at Ajanta. The cave was not discovered when Ajanta’s sequential numbering was done since it is placed in a relatively inaccessible spot high above the other caves. Cave 29’s excavation was underway for only a few months or a year before work on it stopped. The cave’s proximity to Upendragupta’s royal complex makes it reasonable to believe that this was perhaps another one of king’s donations. This cave is now inaccessible.
