    Kunnandarkoil Cave Temple Kunnandarkoil Cave Temple in Kunnandarkoil, a village in Pudukottai district in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Constructed in Rock-cut architecture, the temple is believed to have been built during the 8th century by Muttaraiyar kings, the cardinals of Pallavas, with later expansion from the Vijayanagar Empire. The rock-cut architecture in the temple is a specimen of the late Pallava Art and an early example of Chola Art. The temple is considered one of the oldest stone temples in South India. The walls of the sanctum are plain, unlike later Chola temples that have niches to house different images. The sanctum is approached through an Arthamandapa, a hall supported by pillars. The sanctum is guarded by Dvarapalas on either sides

    This is a must see place and remember the stories of Ramayana. The path to the cave is to the left of the Vitthala temple campus past the Kings balance. The cave is nothing but a small opening in a bolder. I doubt that this was the actual cave because Sugriva used to live on rishimukh parawat which is the mountain right behind the cave on the other side of the river. This whole are was safe from Bali by the curse of Matang muni.

    If you are taking the riverside route this falls almost in the mid way between Sree Virupaksha temple and Vijaya Vitthal temple. Natural rock formation has created cave like structure. This is the place where Sugreeva showed Sita Maa's jewels to Lord Rama. It is on the banks of river Tunga. The two parallel strips in the rock, is believed to be border design of Sita Maa's garment. Near by there is a pond.

    When we come from Achyutaraya temple and head towards Vitthala Temple on the way we can see these caves . It is believed that King Sugriva took shelter here to protect herself from Vali .Lord Ram came here to meet Sugriva in the search of Mata Sita as he was suggested by Sabari.

    This cave is where Sugriv used to hide in the epic mythology Ramayan. To reach this place you need to walk the path of more than 2kms as this place lies after Vijay Vittala temple. I did not had much time to make a visit here as I had to catch a ferry which is last at 5pm so had to skip this cave. But you definitely make a visit to this.

    Just amazing. Keep in mind the tales of the Ramayana and visit this must-see location. Past the King's balance on the Vitthala temple site, to the left, is the route leading to the cave. All that exists in the cave is a little aperture in a larger one. Sugriva used to reside on Rishikesh Parawat, the mountain just behind the cave on the opposite side of the river, hence I doubt that this was the genuine cave. The curse of Matang Muni kept Bali away from this entire area.

    Located almost midway between the Virupaksha temple and the Vittala temple in Hampi, these caves are of great mythological and religious significance. Apparently, king Sugriva used to hide here during those times. One has to walk and hike a little to reach here, but the path is an interesting and an adventurous one. The views from up there are also breathtaking. There is no entry ticket Definitely a must visit place when in Hampi

    Small cave along with water and not yet well maintained. Because they were not able to cover all the places of hampi. Iron doors were locked you can see inside. Better to visit before 5:30 again you need to walk back to the parking lot or in the cycle you'll see on the way..

    The signs posted sent us behind the cave, in the direction to the river. There was nothing to see there. Then someone asked us to go in front of the Seetha pond and there we found the cave.

    Its actually a empty space between 2 giant rocks and I did not see further passage or entry inside this. There are many other unexplored caves in Hampi valley, not sure why this one is known as Sugreeva's cave.
