Rishabhanatha Gumpha located on Southern-eastern side of the Khandagiri Hillock of Orissa. It belongs to 1st century B.C. during the period of Mahameghavahana Chedi dynasty.
Presently the cave has entirely collapsed except for the back wall of the cave.
On the back wall there are three reliefs images, two of Rishabhanatha and one of Amra carved at the top portion.
