Ambapuram cave temple, Ancient Jain cave temple near Vijayawada, India
The temple complex consists of three sections: a verandah, an antarala chamber, and a sacred inner sanctum containing detailed religious sculptures.
Dating to the 7th century CE during Eastern Chalukya rule, this rock-cut temple marks a period when Jainism gained prominence in southern India.
The temple walls display intricate carvings of Mahavira in lotus position and Parshvanatha under a five-hooded serpent, representing core Jain spiritual figures.
The temple can be reached through two routes: from Vijayawada-Nunna or from the milk factory at Adavi Nekkalam, with limited facilities available.
The temple features a rare rock-cut miniature Jain stupa, which local residents often mistake for a Shiva Linga due to its architectural form.
