JAIN WALKS 

Always topping the list of best tourist places in Bhubaneswar, Khandagiri Udayagiri caves are more than just popular tourist spots. It’s a place where you can actually know about the city’s history in a never-heard-before fashion, explore some very intriguing tales about King Kharavela in the stone sculptures and experience ultimate peace of mind in the serenity which the twin-hills offer

An initiative of the Bhubaneswar Development Authority, Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation, Odisha Tourism and curated by Detour Odisha, the Jain Walks is a remembrance of the era when Ekamra Kshetra came into being.

The walk lets explorers see the rare inscription of King Kharavela, embedded on the ceiling of the pillars of Hathi Gumpha, glories of Bagha Gampha, be mesmerised with the sculptures eloquently showcasing the illustrious King Kharavela’s romance with his second wife in Rani Gumpha, the honeycombed cells which used to be the dwelling retreats of cells of hermits, scholars and Jain ascetics and a lot more special attractions.

Of the original 117 caves that existed and mentioned in the records of that era, only 33 of them exist, 18 of them are in Udaygiri and 15 in Khandagiri. Not only are these caves a testimony to the architectural genius of ancient India, but they also bear messages of love, compassion, and religious tolerance.
