Jaina Monuments of Andhra
The above survey reveals that the Jains did not resort to excavating reliefs in the caves in Andhra as the Buddhists did at Sangarama and Guntupalli. Further, the Jains seem to have made these caves or recesses in a big boulders and provided shelters from the sun and rain to the monks. Although the change took place in the Jain church, the Jains of Andhra did not carve such Jain images in the caves. It appears that though the Jain church relaxes rules in ascetic way of life, the local Jain monks could never denounce completely the ascetic nature of their religion.
