Pattadakallu UNESCO World Heritage Site

What travelers say:

This is a scenic spot worth visiting. The art of the grottoes is quite shocking. There are 4 grottoes in total, the first 3 grottoes are Hindu grottoes, which were opened in the 6th century AD, and the fourth grottoes are Jain grottoes, which were opened in the 7th century. The grotto graphic design consists of a column front porch, a square hall and a shrine in the center of the back wall. The first cave is the shiva temple, carved with eighteen-arm shiva dance statues and long rows of pygmy dance bands on the front porch platform. The 3rd cave is the Vishnu temple, which is recorded in the front porch inscription by the king of Zhayu Mangalessa in 578 AD. It is the largest, luxuriously decorated, carved with Vishnu's boar incarnation, dwarf incarnation, human lion incarnation and front porch column head bracket like Miguna (love), etc., there are also mural remnants.
