Udayagiri, Ancient Buddhist complex in Jajpur district, India
The Udayagiri site features numerous rock-cut caves, monasteries, and stupas spread across multiple levels of the hillside terrain near Bhubaneswar.
Archaeological excavations between 1997 and 2000 revealed extensive Buddhist settlements dating from the 7th to 12th centuries, including monastic structures and religious artifacts.
The site contains stone carvings depicting Buddhist deities, including statues of Tara, Manjusri, and Avalokitesvara, reflecting the religious practices of medieval India.
Visitors can reach Udayagiri by taking a 90-kilometer journey northeast from Bhubaneswar or a 70-kilometer trip from Cuttack by road.
The archaeological compound includes a large central stupa measuring 7 meters in height, surrounded by stone-finished flooring and platforms built with ashlar masonry.
