Near the main gate for contemporary entry to the fort (Urwahl Gate), 21 Jain sculptures are caved into the rock wall in shallow “caves”.

| One of several sets of Jain figures carved into the rock wall of the hill that Gwalior Fort sits on. |
 |
| The figures are so tall that it’s difficult to get a good photo. Also challenging was the “high dynamic range” of the scene, with the front portico in direct sunlight and the figures in deep shade. |
 |
| A smaller sculpture is beneath the feet of each of the tall figures. |
