Ancient Jain Caves in Anantagiri Face Neglect

Ancient Jain Caves in Anantagiri Face Neglect

Imagine some old caves, like ancient apartments, that were used long ago by people who followed Jainism.

These caves are in Anantagiri and are very old, dating back to the 9th century.

Now, some of these caves are not being taken care of properly, and some have even been damaged.

An archaeologist named Dr. Sivanagireddy visited the caves and was worried.

He wants the people in charge to help protect the caves by removing the whitewash, improving the paths, planting trees, and putting up signs to explain why they are important.

This way, these ancient caves can be kept safe for everyone to see and learn from in the future.
