Review Avista - Vijayawada

I could say that this is one of the ancient caves which is built by our great indian ancestors which consists of great sculptures and devotional, scientific and historical too. Suggest everyone to go there and enjoy. I can say that everyone will be calm and enjoy a lot.

Oldest and Beautiful caves at village undavalli near vijayawada . neatly maintained place no separate car park we have to park on roadside. At one side of the hill they carved caves ,one big four storey cave and others small caves. Different religious figures were there at different floors. Among All of them lying Vishnu Murty carving is fantastic and superb .fourth floor no entry it is closed for maintenance.all the surrounding views are so beautiful and we feel like sitting there for some time in green lawns. New bathrooms are constructed but not opened.we will get ice creams and tea coffee outside the gate

The places is under archeological survey of India. The caves were carved on the mountain and it contains statues and temples of Hindu Gods. I am mesmerized to see a huge statue of Lord Vishnu in laying position. Its a rare temple carved on the mountain.

Loved this place. Open at 9AM usually. Entrance fee for indian and SAARC is 25 Rs.. At the time we visit they only accept Cash. No rest room fecility. Its 3 floor caves. On the second floor Vishnu is very beautiful. Worth of visit. Its under ASI but some cement patch works are done which is completely damage its antique view. Some rishis status are there but that all are very recent cement statue.

Architectural Marvel belongs to the 6th century AD located approximately 16 km from Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh. Entry fees 25 INR per head and 25 INR for camera. Stands and Drones are prohibited. Plastics are also not allowed inside. Best place to enjoy with family.

A great place to visit. Only cash accepted even though its under ASI. Not much information provided about these caves. Its a temple of Vishnu and depicts the avatars. The top portion is not allowed to climb. The resting vishnu carving is amazing and puja is still done . Rest of it is not much taken care of. Worth visiting once. 25 INR per person. Parking available beside the road. Many people use this spot for photoshoot.

Ancient cultural historic place. It takes about one hour to cover everything leisurely. Well maintained, but more could be done to promote it. This place reminds of Ellora and Ajantha caves, though its much smaller in area compared to them. Overall a good visit.

It’s a nice place but not well maintained The carvings are re altered with cement … it’s a very old historical place You can see a big Ranganatha swamy idol which is very nicely carved in the stone .. visit this place when you go to Vijayawada

Historical site. Well maintained. 4 tiered, carve out of single rock. Ground and top are unfinished. First floor, there is hardly anything. Second floor has large sized Lord Vishnu sculpture in Anant-shayana posture. No tour guide, security guard gives little bit of overview. Tickets needs to be purchased at the entrance by cash. No credit card machine or UPI codes were displayed. Parking is on road side. Single toilets are there, separate for men and women. Plastic free zone. Avoid visiting during hot weather.

Nice place to visit in Vijaywada.Entery is 25 rs for adults. it's Three storey Caves and caves are clean and managed.No big shops are around there ,some little snacks and soda drink hawker are there.Caves first and 2nd floor is carved with beautiful Sculpture,amoung them Vishnu lying on sheshnag is just marvelous .

These caves are carved in Gupta style of rock-cut Architecture which goes back to 4th-5th century CE. Most of emperor of Gupta's were Vaishnavas so we can see many sculpture of Narasimha, Vishnu and Ramayans stories.They are associated with the Vishnukundina kings of 420–620 CE. These caves are dedicated to Anantha Padmanabha and Narashimha. Later Jain and Buddhist monks used these as rest houses.The only means of connectivity for the caves is by road. APSRTC operates bus services from Vijayawada, Guntur and Amaravathi to this location.APCRDA runs Tourist Bus-cum-Boat services through Krishna River from Prakasam Barrage.It is an Impressive Four storey rock cut temple with East facing facade of 29m long, 16m wide. There are variation in depth of each floor. The ground floor is an unfinished low pillared hall with 8 pillars and 7 door openings on façade. The first storey accommodates triple shrine at back, each with the pillared hall in front, originally dedicated to the Trinity (Siva, Vishnu, and Brahma)

Single rock cut cave dates back to 7th century, beautifully carved three storey marvel of Ancient history , the best thing about it was , the Ananta padmanabha swamy statue ... We can see some inscriptions in the temple complex in Telugu language.

It is mostly an unfinished carved cave but, one will definitely wonder how it was built. A huge sleeping statue of Lord Vishnu inside the cave is just amazing. Few tunnel paths were closed as it leads to some other destination saying that people who went in, never came back 😨. However, It is safe to visit. As it is a historical place, you'll love the experience. Note - camera equipment except Mobile phone, camera stand or stabilizers are not allowed.

Ancient caves structure, not sure whether it is Jain Buddhist or Hindu, but in one of caves Anant Vishnu pose idol is available, 4 floor in total, should have been used by the monks for meditation in ancient times, worth a visit

Undavalli caves is monolithic 4 storied rock cut architecture located on a hill, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape as well as the intricate carvings and sculptures on the walls and ceilings are sight to bee seen, especially the Anantasayana Vishnu. These caves are a must-visit place for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and people looking for a unique cultural experience. It is a short distance away from Prakasam barrage. Well maintained, with adequate parking. The main complex is relatively small and can be covered in an hour.

An old unfinished rock cut temple near Vijayawada. It a good visit if one's interested in historical monuments. The carvings are very nice. There is a Anantha Padmanabha Swamy idol in the second level which is big and similar to the Srirangam temple. This is not a temple per se but more of a tourist spot now. However the caretakers do request people to remove shoes before going up. .. (but unfortunately some people don't care). I assume during weekends or tourist season it will be crowded as there is not much of space inside the rock.

The Undavalli Caves, a monolithic example of Indian rock-cut architecture and one of the finest testimonials to ancient viswakarma sthapathis, are located in Guntur district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.These caves are dedicated to Anantha Padmanabha and Narashimha. Later, Jain and Buddhist monks used these as rest houses.
