Bhukailasa cave represents that story of bhukailas with the excellent sculptures if u dont know the story of bhukailas u just cme to know that the total story while watching the sculptures it shows the original story nd characters Shiva parvathi matha nd raavana and lord Ganapathi as per storyRakshas King Ravana decides to invade Amaravati, the capital of the heavenly kingdom of Indra. Scared of Ravanas plans, Indra asks Narada for help. Narada informs Indra that Ravanas strength comes from the worship performed by Kaikasi, Ravanas mother. He suggests that Indra sabotage Ravanas mothers worship of Saikatha Lingam, a sand sculpture representation of Lord Siva.Ravana decides to perform penance and bring Lord Sivas Atma Lingam for his mother to worship. Hearing of Ravanas plans from Narada, Goddess Parvathi, Lord Sivas consort, appeals to Lord Vishnu. When Lord Siva appears to Ravana to grant his wish, Lord Vishnu manipulates Ravanas mind and makes him wish for Goddess Parvathi. As Ravana proceeds home with Goddess Parvathi, Narada meets him midway and tells him that his companion is a fake Parvathi. Dejected by the subterfuge, Ravana returns Goddess Parvathi to Lord Siva.During his return journey, he meets Mandodari, the young princess of Pathala. Believing she is the real Goddess Parvathi, he marries her. Eventually, he realizes what happened and appeals to Lord Siva for forgiveness by presenting his severed head. Lord Siva presents Ravana with Atma Lingam and warns him that, if the Atma Lingam ever touches the earth, it can never be moved again. Narada instigates Lord Vinayaka to trick Ravana into grounding the Atma Lingam at what later became known as Gokarna Kshethram in Karnataka.
