The Panchalesvara Cave,
to the west of town, just across the river Mula, lies in a rather
surprising urban setting at the northern end of busy Jungli Maharaj Road.
Hewn from rock, the Cave dates from the Rashtrakuta period (eighth-ninth
centuries). The central shrine contains a shivalingam, while to either
side subsidiary cells hold figures of Lakshmi, Ganesh, Rama, his wife Sita
and brother Lakshmana. |
