Undavalli Caves

Pratheesh D 13 months ago

Undavalli Caves in Vijayawada are an architectural wonder that offers a glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage. These rock-cut caves are believed to date back to the 7th century and are a testimony to the craftsmanship of the ancient Indian architects.

These caves, located on a hill, offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The intricate carvings and sculptures on the walls and ceilings are a treat to the eyes and offer insights into the life and times of the people who lived in the region.

The caves are divided into four levels, with the first level housing a beautiful statue of Lord Vishnu in a reclining pose. The second level has a beautiful statue of Lord Brahma in a sitting pose, while the third level houses a beautiful statue of Lord Shiva in a dancing pose. The fourth level has a beautiful statue of Buddha in a meditative pose.

The Undavalli Caves are a must-visit place for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and people looking for a unique cultural experience. The caves are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly, making it an ideal destination for a family outing or a picnic with friends.

Overall, I highly recommend the Undavalli

I had visited this place on a public holiday + weekend, so you can imagine the crowd there! Couldn't appreciate it much since there was huge family crowd, however I found the view from the Undavalli Caves to be more scenic. It also has a sleeping posture statue of Lord Vishnu on second floor of the cave. Will advise others to visit the place on a normal weekday where one can spend time in peace with nature here. The cave is open till 6pm in the evening and the entry ticket counter closes by 5-5.15pm. There are a lot of smart monkeys, don't try to mock/play with them, they might outsmart you :p
I liked that they're promoting cashless payments. The entry ticket is ₹25 if you're paying by cash and ₹20 if you're making cashless payment.

Awesome experience. Not as big as other caves but great nonetheless. Beautiful carvings and great views of the nearby areas. Rate of entry is 25 rupees for Indians. A must go experience
