Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves are partly natural and partly artificial caves of archaeological, historical and religious importance near the city of Bhubaneswar in Odisha, India. The caves are situated on two adjacent hills, Udayagiri and Khandagiri, mentioned as Kumari Parvat in the Hathigumpha inscription. They have a number of finely and ornately carved caves built during 2nd century BCE. It is believed that most of these caves were carved out as residential blocks for Jain monks during the reign of King Kharavela. Udayagiri means "Sunrise Hill" and has 18 caves while Khandagiri has 15 caves.

The caves of Udayagiri and Khandagiri, called lena or leṇa in the inscriptions, were dug out mostly during the reign of Kharavela for the abode of Jaina ascetics. The most important of this group is Ranigumpha in Udayagiri which is a double storeyed monastery. Other important caves include Hathi gumpha, Ananta gumpha, Ganesha gumpha, Jaya Vijaya gumpha, Mancapuri gumpha, Bagh gumpha and Sarpa gumpha.

LYFE Hotels Bhubaneswar

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you to Umesh at reception and Saurav in the dining room for excellent friendly efficient service. Applaud Saurav for always going above and beyond at our luncheon and at dinner. "

The Hhi Bhubaneswar

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is excellent in terms of location, amenities and staff. The location cannot be beat - centrally located close to the railway station or airport. Easy to find Ubers, autos, and lots of shopping within walking distance. Many temples, and handicraft stores are within a 10 minute walk. The amenities were spectacular. Spacious rooms, spotlessly clean, multiple Restaurants on site, 24/7 room service, and more. The staff might be the highlight of this hotel. Every single individual went above and beyond. From the front desk, to the restaurant staff, to the doorman, and more. I especially recall Ruthi, Sangi, digvijay, Smita and Prachi. I’m forgetting a few names. They work long shifts, they serve with a smile. Highly recommended place to stay. We were a large group with elderly persons and a number of rooms. We had the best time. "
