Udaygiri caves

 Udaygiri caves are about sixty miles from Bhopal near Vidhisa and are on the banks of Betwa River and Bes River. Ashoka's wife belonged to this region. These caves, made of a single rock are dated around fourth to  fifth century A. D. and are one of the earliest example of iconography in India. One can see beautiful sculptures of Vishnu, his avatars all carved out of a single piece of rock. It was an amazing experience seeing all  this rich  cultural heritage of our country.
