The
Undavalli Caves is an example of Indian rock-cut architecture, are located in
the village of Undavalli in Tadepalli Mandal in Guntur District, near the
southern bank of Krishna river, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The
caves are located 6 km south west from Vijayawada, 22 km north west of Guntur
City
These
caves have been carved out of solid sandstone on a hillside in the 4th to 5th
centuries A.D. There are several caves. The best known and largest one has four
stories with a huge statue of Lord Vishnu in a reclining posture sculpted from
a single block of granite inside the second floor. Other shrines inside the
cave are dedicated to Trimurti: to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
Main cave belongs to the earliest examples of
Gupta architecture, primarily primitive rock-cut monastery cells carved into
the sandstone hills. Initially caves were shaped as a Buddhist monastery and
the first floor still retains style of Buddhist vihara, including some Buddhist
sculptures. The walls of the caves display sculptures carved by skilled
craftsmen.
