About Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves

The Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves, located near Bhubaneswar in Odisha, are a remarkable blend of natural and man-made rock-cut structures. Dating back to the 2nd century BCE, these caves were carved during the reign of King Kharavela and served as residential blocks for Jain monks. Udayagiri, meaning "Sunrise Hill," houses beautifully sculpted caves with inscriptions and intricate carvings. Khandagiri, or "Broken Hill," offers caves with simpler architecture but significant historical value. Together, they reflect the religious and artistic excellence of ancient India. The caves provide insight into early Jain culture and are a major heritage site and tourist attraction.
