Undavalli Caves

The Undavalli Caves are rock-cut Hindu cave temples carved into a sandstone hill on the south bank of the Krishna near Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. Generally attributed to the period of the Vishnukundina kings in the 5th to 7th centuries, the largest is a four-storeyed cave containing a huge reclining image of Vishnu carved from a single block of rock.
