Cave 4 is the newest one discovered and
was excavated almost a century after the
rest. This cave is dedicated to Jainism. It is a
small cave with images of Jain Tirthankaras.
Inside the sanctum, there is a large sculpture
of Lord Mahavira seated in deep meditation
also depicted Parshvanatha, the twenty-
third Tirthankaras, and Bahubali, the son
of the first Tirthankaras. The cliff with the
caves overlooks sparkling Agastya Lake.
