Share

The Udayagiri Caves are twenty rock-cut Caves near Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh from the early years of the 5th century C.E. They contain some of the oldest surviving Hindu Temples and iconography in India. They are the only site that can be verifiably associated with a Gupta period monarch from its inscriptions. One of India's most important archaeological sites, the Udayagiri hills and its Caves are protected monuments managed by the Archaeological Survey of India. Udayagiri Caves contain iconography of Vaishnavism, Shaktism and Shaivism. They are notable for the ancient monumental relief sculpture of Vishnu in his incarnation as the man-boar Varaha, rescuing the earth symbolically represented by Bhudevi clinging to the boar's tusk as described in Hindu mythology.
