Known as Nilakantha, this cave is reached by a sopan a (staircase) .The cave's courtyard has a monolith Nandi-mandapa. A group of Saptamatrikas adorn its south wall. Two dvarapalas stand guard on either end of the verandah, one four-armed and the other two-armed. There is a raised lateral gallery on either end of the hall which has eight square pillars. The northern wall of the vestibule has sculptures of Ganesa and Ganga while the opposite wall has Kartikeya. The shrine is simple and has a linga on a circular pitha. The space to the north of the door-jamb has Sarasvati and the corresponding opposite wall-space, a Gaja-Lakshmi. The bracket-figures of the pillars in front of the shrine are beautiful specimens of sculpture.
