waves of the ocean and rocks. The monstrous Kala head or the demonic human shaped
head depicts as if it split opens the rock with its hands at its entrance. The
interiors of the cave are exquisitely and extensively decorated with shrines.
An elephant statue also stands inside the Goa Gajah cave.

monks in the ancient times. The monks used to meditate in these caves. The complex
also features two stone bathing pools that are quite deep and fed by water spouts
held by 6 female figures of nymphs or goddesses. A clamber that lies below the
rocks and rice terraces, fifty meters behind the cave leads to scatters and
fragmentation of a fallen cliff face with 2 Buddha statues of the ancient times.
