Panchu Pandav Caves, Bhubaneswar

  • Post category:Cave

Panchu Pandav Caves is a historical monument of the 5th or 6th century A.D. located in the Badagada area, Bhubaneswar. There are five caves here. Legend states that the Panchu Pandava brothers (Arjuna, Bhima, Nakula, Sahadeva, and Yudhisthira) stayed in these caves during their Mahabharata-era exile (Vanvas). An almost identical legend is associated with the Panchu Pandav Temple in Ganeswarpur, 50 km north-west of here. Out of the five caves, two are empty, and Lord Shiva is being worshipped in the last cave. 

 ASI is developing the premises of this cave to facilitate this ancient monument and attract more visitors. Odisha is full of ancient caves, temples, and natural beauty. Bhubaneswar is said to have more than 1000 temples and is known as the Ekamra Khetra. Panchu Pandav Mahotsav is celebrated at this place every year. Panchu Pandav Caves is one of the tourist attractions places in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Source
