Hi Friends, Mahendravadi is the Vishnu temple excavated by Mahendravarman I. We may say that this might be the only one such temple, dedicated to Vishnu, of Mahendravarman, if we only talk about the caves where his inscriptions are found. This cave holds an important position in study of Mahendravarman, as to understand why he excavated a Vishnu temple, when he himself declares turning to Shiva in his Trichy inscription. You may find more information on this in my article, link below.
