Letterpress description reads: 'These caves excavated in a hill known as Udaygiri, in Gwalior State and can be visited either from Bhilsa or from Sanchi. The group consists of 18 Hindu and 2 Jain caves of the 5th century after Christ. The caves bear three contemporary inscriptions referring to the Emperors Chandragupta and Kumargupta and possess some beautiful sculptures of the golden age of the Indian plastic art, representing gods and goddesses of the Hindu Pantheon. The colossal image of Varaha (the Boar incarnation of Vishnu) seen in this photograph is perhaps the largest and finest of its kind found anywhere'.
