Tourist Attractions

Here’s what makes Belum Caves a must-visit destination:

Meditation Hall – A spacious underground chamber where Buddhist monks once meditated. The calm aura here is deeply spiritual.

Patalaganga – A perennial underground stream that flows mysteriously through the caves, contributing to the cool and humid atmosphere.

Simhadwaram (Lion’s Gate) – Named for its natural formation resembling a lion’s mouth, this gateway adds an adventurous thrill to your entry.

Kotilingalu Chamber – Literally “a million lingas,” this section features thousands of naturally formed Shiva Lingam-like structures, drawing spiritual reverence.

Banyan Tree Hall – A chamber with formations resembling a hanging banyan tree — nature’s own sculpture gallery.

Historical Remains – Artifacts like pottery remnants and relics have been found here, linking the caves to Jain and Buddhist monks who once lived and meditated within.

Visit the Buddha Statue
Just above the caves stands a massive 40-foot-high statue of Buddha in serene repose, commemorating the monks who once used the caves. A scenic spot for photographs and peaceful reflection.
