The Udayagiri caves are most noted for the gigantic boar shaped carvings which depict Vishnu in his incarnation as the boar-headed Varaha. The cave temples are also known for the unique T-shaped door, rock-shelters, water systems and habitation mounds. The reign of Chandragupta II and Kumaragupta I of the Gupta dynasty has been immortalised through the inscriptions in the cave temple complex.
