The plan of the interior of the cave can be best explained with the help of Plate I. The hall is almost square, measuring 48 ft. 4 in. by 47 ft. 7 in., and its roof is supported by twelve massive pillars, which are elaborately carved (Plate V). There are corridors on all four sides of the hall and ten cells for the accommodation of the *Bhikshus*, three being attached to each of the right and left corridors, and two to each of the front and back ones.
