Cave-3 is bigger than Cave – 1 and Cave – 2. It is dedicated to Vishnu. Just like Cave – 1 and Cave – 2, it has a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) in the back, sabhamantapa (main hall) in the middle, and an open mukhamantapa (porch) in front.
The theme of the sculptural reliefs in Cave-3 is legends related to Vishnu.
