Cave V. called Maharwada, is a very large vihara, and measures 117 feet deep by 58 feet 6 inches wide, exclusive of two large side recesses. The roof is supported by twenty-four pillars, with square shafts, and capitals as in Cave II., having thick compressed cushions. These are arranged in two rows from front to back; and the space between is divided into three passages, by two low stone benches. The cave was probably a dharmasala, and its date may be fixed about the 6th or 7th century. It has about twenty cells for monks; and at the entrance of the left aisle is a chapel which contained a sitting Buddha. In the shrine at the back is a large seated Buddha with attendants; and on each side of the door are separate attendants in arched recesses. Padmapani on the north side is attended by two small female figures with head-dresses resembling royal crowns. The other figure is more richly jewelled and similarly attended, while gandharvas on clouds bring garlands and presents to them.
