Bhubaneswar
About
Located about six miles from Bhubaneswar are the caves of Udayagiri and Khandagiri. These multi-tiered rock-cut caves symbolise Jainism’s cameo role in Orissa’s historical drama. Commissioned by the great Jain king Kharavela, these caves were meant as dwellings for Jain monks. Each cell was lived in by several monks and provided dry shelter for meditation and prayer. They had very few amenities and were austerely plain. However, their facades are richly encrusted with sculptures depicting auspicious objects worshipped by Jains, court scenes, royal processions, hunting expeditions and scenes of daily life. Our guide will explain their significance as you explore these fascinating caves. ...
