The
Udayagiri Caves are an early
Hindu ritual site located near
Vidisha in the state of
Madhya Pradesh,
Northern India. They were extensively carved and reworked under the command of
Chandragupta II,
Emperor of the
Gupta Empire, in the late 4th and
5th century CE. One of
India's most important archaeological sites from the
Gupta period, it is currently a tourist site under the protection of the
Archaeological Survey of India.
Udayagiri consists of a substantial U-shaped plateau immediately next to the
River Bes. Located a short distance from the earthen ramparts of ancient
Besnagar, Udayagiri is about 4 km from the modern town of Vidisha and about 13 km from the Buddhist site of
Sanchi. Udayagiri is best known for a series of rock-cut sanctuaries and images excavated into hillside in the early years of the fifth century CE. The most artistic sculpture is the monumental figure of Viṣṇu in his incarnation as the boar-headed Varaha. The site has important inscriptions of the
Gupta dynasty belonging to the reigns of Chandragupta II and
Kumaragupta . In addition to these remains, Udayagiri has a series of rock-shelters and petroglyphs, ruined buildings, inscriptions, water systems, fortifications and habitation mounds, all of which have been only partially investigated.
