Udaigiri Cave Shrines

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:25:51

Cut into a sandstone hill, about 5km northwest of Vidisha, are some 20 Gupta cave shrines dating from the reign of Chandragupta II (AD 382–401). Most are Hindu but two, near the top of the hill, are Jain (Caves 1 and 20) – unfortunately both are closed due to unsafe roofs.
