It’s not a cave in the actual sense but rather it is a Shiva Temple. The carvings on the outer building is of basalt. This black basalt rock has been carved out in the form of a cave with a cube shaped room. It is this room where the lingam (the statue of Shiva) is situated. There is a bell made out of brass which hangs at the entrance of the temple. There at the entrance is the circular arrangement of white stones with Nadi Bull (ride of Lord Shiva) standing there. Inside the temple besides the lingam there are also the beautiful statues of Lord Rama, his better half Sita, and his brother Laxman.
