The Pandava Caves are located near Kadri Manjunath temple in Mangalore, Karnataka, India. Historians found that the current temple was a Buddhist monastery known as Kandarika Vihara. The shrine had a standing Buddha image in it. This image was replaced by the King Kundvarma of the Alupa dynasty, who was a devotee of Shiva. However it was not the Buddha but a bodhisattva who was historically integrated with Shiva. Historians concluded that the vihara was originally a centre of the cult of the bodhisattva Manjusri.This temple was one of the famous centres of learning and pilgrimage until the 11th century . This particular doctrine opened the doors for Tantric religion. Both Shilinga and the bodhisattva were worshipped for many centuries until the Buddhist temple was converted to a purely Saivite temple. Pandava Caves: According to the mythological sources Pandavas stayed here during their exile. According to the mythological sources, Pandavas stayed here during their exile in the Mahabharata period.It is said by the locals that whoever entered these caves never returned. The locals also say that these caves are so long that through it we can reach Kashi in the north.

This cave is known as Pandava Caves in Mangaluru since Pandava had used it during exile. There is no ticket. Cave is locked due to some accidents in past. You can go till the entrance which you can see in my images. There is Ram Lakshman dhaara beside this cave. Sweet, cold drinking water. Worth visiting once.

A whisper from the Mahabharata, tucked into Kadri’s hillside. Pandava Cave is a quiet, lesser-known heritage spot near Kadri Park and the Kadri Manjunatha Temple. Believed to be a refuge for the Pandavas during their exile, the cave carries mythological weight and spiritual stillness. The laterite chambers are simple, yet evocative—each crevice feels like a pause in time.

Swami Ramdas of Anandashram stayed here for three months in 1924, adding another layer of contemplative history....
