Udayagiri in Madhya Pradesh is a medieval Hindu ritual site with twenty rock-cut caves dating back to the early years of the fifth century CE. The Udayagiri Caves are richly carved with iconographies of Hindu Gods, including Vishnu, Durga, and Shiva, carrying legendary stories about the gods and their shrines. This region is home to twenty caves, one of which is dedicated to Jainism and the rest to Hinduism. It is undoubtedly a remarkable heritage tourism destination to learn about Central India's past.
