Luggage and bags: Also definitely carry a small fan or newspaper to fan oneself coz it can get a bit hot and humid after a lot of walking and esp inside the caves.
Also purchasing a book guide before entering the caves is a good idea and also most definitely hire a guide as also no book or any research knowledge can explaing the finer intricacies of the paintings or scultures as a guide with a torch. Guides are available at the entrance and are government approved with standard rates.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Wear light cotton clothing and carry plenty of water in ur ruck sack.

Photo Equipment: An important tip is to carry a mobile or camera having high resolution and clarity as no photos or video recording having flash is permitted inside the cave.
