These caves are carved in Gupta style of rock-cut Architecture which goes back to 4th-5th century CE. Most of emperor of Gupta's were Vaishnavas so we can see many sculpture of Narasimha, Vishnu and Ramayans stories. They are associated with the Vishnukundina kings of 420–620 CE. These caves are dedicated to Anantha Padmanabha and Narashimha. Later Jain and Buddhist monks used these as rest houses.

A great place to visit. Only cash accepted even though its under ASI. Not much information provided about these caves. Its a temple of Vishnu and depicts the avatars. The top portion is not allowed to climb. The resting vishnu carving is amazing and puja is still done . Rest of it is not much taken care of. Worth visiting once. 25 INR per person. Parking available beside the road. Many people use this spot for photoshoot.

It is mostly an unfinished carved cave but, one will definitely wonder how it was built. A huge sleeping statue of Lord Vishnu inside the cave is just amazing. Few tunnel paths were closed as it leads to some other destination saying that people who went in, never came back 😨. However, It is safe to visit. As it is a historical place, you'll love the experience.

Note - camera equipment except Mobile phone, camera stand or stabilizers are not allowed.

Undavalli caves is monolithic 4 storied rock cut architecture located on a hill, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape as well as the intricate carvings and sculptures on the walls and ceilings are sight to bee seen, especially the Anantasayana Vishnu.

These caves are a must-visit place for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and people looking for a unique cultural experience.

It is a short distance away from Prakasam barrage. Well maintained, with adequate parking. The main complex is relatively small and can be covered in an hour.

Charming place, a short distance away from Prakasam barrage. Well maintained, with adequate parking. Provides a good glimpse into the historic achievements of our ancestors. The main complex is relatively small and can be covered in an hour. The monolithic carvings inside are magnificent, especially the Anantasayana Vishnu.
