The Pandavleni Caves are situated on Trivashmi Hill's tableland and their existence dates back to some 2000 years. Around 24 caves were built by Jain kings and these caves housed Jain saints like Veer Manibhadraji, Tirthankara Vrishabdeo and Ambikadevi. The cave complex comprised of numerous water tanks that were chiselled into rock and large caves that probably served as the areas where sermons were preached or the meeting place of disciples. Several sculptures of bodhisattvas and Buddha are also situated in these caves.
