The cave, rectangularly shaped in plane, enjoys the reputation of a "Thousand Buddha Cave". as it is carved with Buddhist images all over its surface walls.
Description   
On the top of the shrine in the center of its western wall are carved algae, fish and birds in relief as well as in incised lines for ornamental purpose. There can also be seen groups of seagulls flying in the sky and fish swimming in the water in vivid and graceful shapes.
