There are two ways to reach this cave, one lies on the road from the Kailasa to the Jaina caves, while the second goes via the narrow strip under the cliff. Carved in a projecting scarp to the north of the waterfall, it is the largest Brahmanical cave. The hall, shaped as a cruciform, has is the main one. This is indicated by the figures of lions and elephants guarding its steps as well as by the Nandi-platform in front of it. The cave also has twenty-six massive kalasa-topped pillars, with necks on some of the kalasas. A flight of steps leads one from the southern entrance to the stream formed by the waterfall. Each of the entrances is flanked by large sculptures that are beautifully executed.
The eastern wall of the south entrance has a magnificent sculpture representing the marriage of Siva with Parvati. To the south of this panel is a larger-than-life sculpture probably of Sarasvati. The western wall has a sculpture in two sections, the upper one showing Siva and Parvati playing dice and the lower one Brahma, Vishnu and Nandi. At the upper ends are beautiful representations of dikpalas on their mounts and others. Ravana shaking the Kailasa mountain and Andhakari are seen respectively on the south and north walls of the western entrance. The east wall of the northern entrance has Lakulisa seated on a lotus supported by Nagarajas, while the west wall has a powerful dancing Siva. To the north of Lakulisa is a sculpture of Yamuna standing on a tortoise.
The shrine, containing a linga, is in the rear of the cave. It is open on all four sides, each of which is guarded by a pair of gigantic but exquisitely-finished dvarapalas attended by women.
