Sudama Cave lies on the southern face of the Barabar Hills at
Gaya in
Bihar. This cave was excavated in the 12th regal year of
Ashoka. It appears like a beehive hut with double chambered halls and hemispherical roofs. The cave is remarkable for the highly polished stones and its entrance is designed in Egyptian form.
According to the legend,
Sudama, a close friend of Lord Krishna had stayed in this cave. Hence it got its name as Sudama Cave.
Barabar Hills are about 20 km north of Gaya just off the Gaya-Patna road.
The nearest airport is Gaya Airport.
