Description
Rather a niche than a man-made 'cave temple' (rock-cut chamber used for religious purposes) is situated just inside the Hanuman Darwaza, the 5th gate of –>Kalinjar Fort (N24°59'50”: E080°28'50” WGS84; obsolete: Kallingur). CAVE DESCRIPTION: »A small recess under a projection of the rock, containing five figures in relief, almst indistinguishable from whitewash. There is a dried up bed of a kund [water reservoir / open air cistern] here, which was originally called Hanuman Kund« (MAISEY 1848: 176 and note 15).
