**Bhajana and Alakapura Caves:—**“The impregnable or unequalled chamber of Chulakarma, and the appropriate temple (or place) of Karma (Crishi ?).”³¹ Similar to the last is a small cave of an irregular shape with a corresponding verandah in front called Bhajana Gumphā or the ‘Cave of Meditation.’ It measures in length eight feet in front, and fifteen feet behind with a breadth of ten feet; the height being seven feet (Plates I. K, and XVIII). It has no inscription, and is otherwise of no importance. The same may be said of the cave immediately adjoining it on the north. It is called Alakāpura or “the Palace of Indra.” (Plate I. L).
