| The major attraction of this place is the huge statue of Lord Vishnu sculpted from a single block of granite and the statue of Lord Buddha that is five meter long. Sculptures carved by skilled craftsmen can be found in the walls of the caves. The structure of these caves resembles the architectural and sculptural proficiency of Buddhist culture. |
