In Madurai, India, we toured a few temples and old ruins of India. There is not a lot of history of the Rock Cut caves shown. They are associated with the Jains, but a lot is unknown. " On the western edge of this hill are some of the oldest known Jain beds with a few Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions dated between the 2nd century BCE and the early centuries of the common era. Additional Jain beds, Tamil language inscriptions in the later-era script, and Jain bas-reliefs are found in several caverns along a trail that climbs up the hill towards the rock-cut Kasi Viswanathar temple. The temple and these upper-level Jain monuments are dated between the 7th and 11th centuries.
