Khaṇḍagiri, Udayagiri (English spelling)
Jain ruins on two adjacent hills, Khandagiri (southwest, 15 caves and a stone temple reconstructed in the early 19th century) and Udayagiri (northeast, 18 caves and the remains of a stone temple with a circular rear on the summit), about 6 km southwest of Bhubaneswar in the state of Orissa in eastern India. The inscription of King Kalavela in Cave 14 of Udayagiri is thought to date to the end of the 1st century BCE, and the main caves were excavated by the 2nd century. The reliefs on the upper part of the front corridors of caves 1, 3, 9 and 10 of Udayagiri and cave 3 of Khandagiri feature soft, dynamic depictions of the human body.
