Cave 6 is the main "chaitya-griha" of the Lenyadri caves and one of the earliest examples of a Hinayana chaitya-griha. Its plan is similar to the Ajanta Caves chaitya-griha, though smaller in size. It has a veranda, pillars and pilasters with animal-capitals, and a shrine with 5 steps at the entrance. The shrine hall is entered by a plain and a socketed-door measuring in width and in height. The hall measures in length; in width and in height. It has a row of five pillars and one pilaster on each side of the "chaitya" or "Dagoba" or "stupa" (central relic-shrine), located at the rear of the hall. A start was made on a typical large arched window above the entrance, but this was never completed, and remains a blind recess.
