Gwalior - Rock-cut Jain images Urwai Gate.

 

Between the lower and the upper gate at the western approach to the Gwalior Fort are many colossal Jain sculptures carved along both the rock faces of the valley which are unique in respect to their number and size.

The sculptures represent the figures of some of the 24 Jain Tirthankaras, either in standing or in seated postures.

These sculptures are carved during the regime of Toman king Dungan Singh in 15th century.
