It is on a plateau on the island hill supported by a huge plinth whose four sides are carved with about 5 ft high executed with singular correctness and excellence of attitudes, in playful mood.nnwith deficient trunk with a mahavat on and a victim being crushed under foot. Two of them are removed and kept in Nagpur Museum. The rest are mutilated. The central shrine had an entrance on all four side with magnificent porches or Sabha Mandaps.

The main temple, situated atop the cliff, is heaven for explorers. The temple ruins consist of incomplete pillars, walls and roof structures of the temple. Worth a visit.

These frescoes of the elephants are carved over stone 1.5 m in height. Looking up to the roof of the caves showcases artistic magic.
