[3] The Siddhachal collosi cave temples are located inside fortifications of the Urvahi valley, a part of the fort of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, immediately below the northwestern walls of the fortress.

[2][4][5] The Siddhachal cave temples are a part of nearly 100 Jain monuments found in and around the Gwalior Fort, all dated to be from the 14th to 15th centuries.

The Siddhanchal colossi are near the Urwahi road, and most are dated to be from the 15th century, built in an era when Delhi Sultanate had collapsed and fragmented, a Hindu kingdom was back in power in Gwalior region and before Babur had ended the Delhi Sultanate and replaced it with his Mughal dynasty.

[1]The Jain cave temples within the Gwalior Fort were, however, not destroyed, just mutilated by chopping off the faces, the sexual organs and their limbs.

Centuries later, the Jain community restored many of the statues by adding back stucco heads on the top of the damaged idols.

The largest of these are for Rishabhanatha (Adinatha), identifiable by the bull emblem carved on the pedestal under his foot, with a height of 57 feet (17 m).
