BADAMI TOURISM

Badami cave temples

Badami cave temples

Once the capital of the mighty Chalukyas, Badami, located in Bagalkot district of Karnataka, is known for its rock-cut temples built in 5th and 8th century AD. The town faces the Agastya lake which is surrounded by two hills, Vatapi and Ilvala named after the two demon siblings who wreaked havoc in the region till the sage Agastya outsmarted them.

Badami became the capital of the Chalukyas, after they moved their capital from Aihole. The Chalukyas ruled the region between 6th and 8th century. While Pulakesi laid the foundations of Badami it was his son Kirthivarman and his brother Mangalesha I who built several cave temples in the town. During the reign of the Chalukyas, four rock-cut cave temples were constructed. While three are dedicated to Hindu gods, the fourth temple is dedicated to Jain Tirthankars.
