The Mogalarajapuram caves are a testimony to the heritage of Vijayawada, the ruins of the 5th century. These caves are located in the heart of Vijayawada city in "Kasturibepet" of Krishna district. The religious significance of the caves is due to the five rock-cut sanctums, these include Nataraja, Ganesha and Ardhanarishvara.
