Siddhanchal Jain Temple Caves
The Siddhanchal Jain Temple Caves are a group of Jain cave monuments and colossal statues carved into the rock face inside the Urvahi Gate of the Gwalior Fort in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.
These caves are among the most visited Jain rock carvings in the Gwalior Fort hill and were built over time starting in the 14th century, with most dating to the 15th century. The statues depict all 24 Tirthankaras in both seated Padmasana posture and standing Kayotsarga posture, showcasing the typical naked form of Jain iconography.
Many of the statues were defaced and destroyed under the orders of the Muslim Emperor Babur of the Mughal dynasty in the 16th century, but some were repaired and restored after the fall of the Mughal dynasty and through the late 19th century by the Scindia dynasty and the Jain community.
The site is about 2 kilometers from the South-East Group of Gopachal rock-cut Jain monuments and about 1 kilometer northwest of the Teli Temple within the Gwalior Fort.
