About Udayagiri Caves in Bhopal

Udayagiri mean the mountain of the sunrise, a historical Hindu ritual site home to twenty rock-cut caves near Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh. Vishnu Padagiri is the otherwise known name of the place meaning "the feet of Vishnu". The Udayagiri Caves are twenty rock-cut caves near Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh from the early years of the 5th century CE. They contain some of the oldest surviving Hindu temples and iconography in India. The Udayagiri Caves complex consists of twenty caves, of which one is dedicated to Jainism and all others to Hinduism. The Jain cave is notable for one of the oldest known Jaina inscriptions from 425 CE, while the Hindu Caves feature inscriptions from 401 CE.[ They are the only site that can be verifiably associated with a Gupta period monarch from its inscriptions.  Udayagiri caves contain iconography of Vaishnavism (Vishnu), Shaktism (Durga and Matrikas) and Shaivism (Shiva).

They are notable for the ancient monumental relief sculpture of Vishnu in his incarnation as the man-boar Varaha, rescuing the earth symbolically represented by Bhudevi clinging to the boar's tusk as described in Hindu mythology. In addition to these, Udayagiri has a series of rock-shelters and petroglyphs, ruined buildings, inscriptions, water systems, fortifications and habitation mounds, all of which remain a subject of continuing archaeological studies.

Bhavana's 7 days trip to Bhopal

We're still basking in the warmth of our incredible 13D/12N Madhya Pradesh adventure & we can't thank you enough for making it truly unforgettable! Your meticulous planning, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were in good hands. Our accommodations were comfortable and perfect for our needs, and the flight tickets were arranged seamlessly. But what really made our trip special was *Mr. Sumrin*, our amazing driver! He was the epitome of patience, kindness, and professionalism. His spotless vehicle & warm smile were a constant source of comfort throughout our journey. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to him! We also appreciated your regular check-ins, ensuring everything was okay and if we needed anything. It felt like having a friend looking out for us from afar. When we requested a few last-minute changes, you accommodated them with ease, putting our minds at ease. Your carefully crafted itinerary allowed us to soak in the beauty of Madhya Pradesh without feeling rushed. We saw so much more than we expected, thanks to your expertise!

Sakshi's 3 days trip to Bhopal

The trip was wonderful, however there were some loopholes as well. The package was a little costly as per the services provided. Indore hotel was very nice and decent, but Ujjain hotel was not as I expected. Cab drivers were polite in nature but cooperation and coordination was missing. Overall it was a good trip.

They had finalised my one day trip to Indore as per my requirement within a short period of time. A special thanks to TT team work. The cost of trip was bit expensive but keeping in view of time, it is okay. Both hotel and cab are very good. Cab driver is an excellent person.
