Where are the cave inscription found in Rewa?
The correct answer is Kyoti. The fort of Kyoti is 22 miles away from Rewa in the northeastern direction in the Sirmour tehsil. Near the fort is the 33 feet Kyoti falls in which the water flows from the Mahanadi. The history of the Kyoti dynasty begins with the 18th King of Rewa, Veer Singh Dev. King Shahalvahan had two sons, Veer Singh Dev and Nagmal Dev. Veer Singh Dev ascended the throne while Nagmal Dev got the state of Kyoti. Hence the fort of Kyoti is believed to be built by Nagmal Dev and its architecture also suggests the same. In the year 1857 a fierce battle was fought between Thakur Rannmat Singh and the British Col. Aswan in this fort. Ahead of the Fort lies a small cave through which a stream flows whose origin is unknown. The cave has a piece of broken idol on which Gajlakshmi, Ganesh and Vishnu are inscribed in a sitting posture. Above the inscription three male figures have been drawn. The fort has been declared as a conserved monument. Near the fort are some small temples and below are two rock cut caves, one having a Shivlinga on the outer rock are carved designs of Buddhist stupas indicating that there caves must have been used at one time by Buddhist monks.
