FacadeFacade view of Cave 3 and also in view are caves 4 through 6. Cave 3 once had a deep porch leading into the interior through a central doorway, and fronted by a two pillared colonnade. An impressively wide monolithic staircase must have once had steps leading to the basin of the seasonal waterfall. This area in front shows remnants of a fine heavy molded basement, of a type commonly found in both Vakataka and Early Kalacuri prototypes. Outside the cave, at the left of the broken porch, there is an unusual pillared window; it is purely a recent cement reconstruction and totally inauthentic, except for the carved floral borders at the left.
