Akkanna Madanna caves, Rock-cut Hindu temple caves in Vijayawada, India.
The Akkanna Madanna caves feature an upper complex and lower caves connected by a five-step staircase at the foot of Indrakeeladri hill.
The caves, dating from the 6th and 7th centuries CE, received their name from two ministers of Abul Hasan Tana Shah's court in the 17th century.
The upper cave contains three shrines with monolithic architecture supported by octagonal pillars, displaying elements of Pandyan cave design traditions.
Located 3 kilometers from Vijayawada railway station, the caves remain open daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM without requiring an entrance fee.
Originally constructed as Buddhist caves, these structures transformed into Hindu temples dedicated to Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwar over centuries.
