- The Lomas Rishi Cave, also called the Grotto of Lomas Rishi, is one of the man-made Barabar Caves in the Barabar and Nagarjuni hills of Jehanabad district in the Indian state of Bihar. This rock-cut cave was carved out as a sanctuary. It was built during the Ashokan period of the Maurya Empire in the 3rd century BC, as part of the sacred architecture of the Ajivikas, an ancient religious and philosophical group of India that competed with Jainism and became extinct over time. Ājīvikas were atheists and rejected the authority of the Vedas as well as Buddhist ideas. They were ascetic communities and meditated in the Barabar caves. Still, the Lomas Rishi cave lacks an explicit epigraphical dedication to the Ajivikas, contrary to most other Barabar Caves, and may rather have been built by Ashoka for the Buddhists. The hut-style facade at the entrance to the cave is the earliest survival of the ogee shaped "chaitya arch" or chandrashala that was to be an important feature of Indian rock-cut architecture and sculptural decoration for centuries. The form was clearly a reproduction in stone of buildings in wood and other vegetable materials. According to Pia Brancaccio, the Lomas Rishi cave, along with nearby Sudama cave, is considered by many scholars to be "the prototype for the Buddhist caves of the western Deccan, particularly the chaitya hall type structure built between 2nd century BC and 2nd century AD. First is a large hall, entered at the side and rectangular in shape measuring 9.86x5.18m, which functioned as an assembly hall. Further inside is a second hall, smaller in size, which is a semi-hemispherical room, 5m in diameter, with a roof in the form of a dome, and which is accessed from the rectangular room by a narrow rectangular passage. The interior surfaces of the chambers are very finely finished. (en)
- La cueva o gruta de Lomas Rishi es una gruta o cueva sagrada de la India ubicada en Barabar y los montes Nagarjuni, en el distrito Jehanabad del estado de Bihar. Esta cueva fue excavada para ser un santuario. Fue construida en el reinado de Ashoka durante el periodo del imperio maurya en el siglo III a. C., como parte de una arquitectura sagrada dirigida a los budistas. El estilo cabaña en la fachada exterior de la cueva, que significaba cobertizo de leche, tuvo un fuerte impacto en el sur de Asia. Esto se transformó en un modelo arquitectónico empleado en otras construcciones budistas y en las cuevas jainas en la India, igualmente retomado por el más grande budista chaitya realizado en las cuevas de o de Karli en Maharastra.
