Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves of Odisha are not only fascinating tourist destinations, but also a wondrous sight for incredible art, stupendous sculptures, and remarkable architecture. These caves date back to centuries ago and have over 100 caves carved into the face of two nearby hills. Approximately 18 caves from Udayagiri Hill and 15 from Khandagiri Hill have been excised into the rock-cut architecture by the Jain kings. Monks had used these caves as their abodes, thus resulting in many inscriptions within their walls. Highly sculpted edicts such as elephants, trees, human forms, swans, chariots, etc decorate these cave walls making them aesthetically pleasing. Exploring both Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves is an amazing experience that may be enjoyed through various activities such as sightseeing, photography, or soaking in the history. This will definitely make your tour to Odisha worth remembering!
