1^st cave temple has sculptures of Shiva and parvati.

4^rd one has Jainism carvings

There is a pond attached to these caves temples located red rock hill. At the corner of the pond, there are some temples in which one called group of Bhutanath temples locatged they look beautiful from the other corner of the pond where in temple appears like standing in midst of the water.
