Siddhachal Caves, Jain rock-cut caves at Urvahi valley of Gwalior Fort, India.

The Siddhachal Caves contain numerous carved statues of Tirthankaras in both seated Padmasana and standing Kayotsarga positions along the rock walls.

Construction of these caves commenced in the 7th century, with major developments during the 15th century under the Tomar dynasty between 1440 and 1453.

The cave complex displays elaborate carvings of all 24 Tirthankaras, featuring detailed reliefs that narrate traditional Jain legends and teachings.

Located 2 kilometers from Gopachal monuments and 1 kilometer northwest of Teli Temple, these caves remain accessible through the Urvahi Gate entrance.

The site includes a 58-foot statue of Rishabhanatha, while numerous damaged sculptures received stucco head restorations in the 19th century.
