Badami shivalaya

Badami is located Bagalkot district of Karnataka, India. It was the regal capital of the Badami Chalukyas known as 'vatapi' then, from 540 to 757 AD. It is famous for rock cut architecture and other structural temples. It is located in a ravine at the foot of a rugged, red sandstone outcrop that surrounds Agastya lake. Badami is surrounded in the north and south by forts built in later times, from the ramparts that crown their summits.
The north fort which is on the opposite side of the town is penetrated by deep canyon-like crevices, through which climbs a straight path. The first features to be seen along this path are two freestanding, multi-storeyed mandapas, seemingly unconnected with any temples. They are possibly vestiges of an early ceremonial complexes. Lower Shivalaya stands on a nearby rocky terrace, surveying the houses beneath. At the summit of north fort, upper Shivalaya is sited majestically overlooking the town beneath. Both these were probably erected in the early 7th century, but appear to have partly dismantled mostly by conquering pallava forces; and maybe they have been pillaged for building blocks to strengthen north fort by later occupiers. The ruinous condition these monument contrast with comparatively complete Malegitti Shivalaya, which crowns on as isolated boulder beneath the western flank of the North fort, this temple also be dated to the first half of the 7th century and is of historical interest for its well- preserved cravings.

Lower Shivalaya:
Only the towered sanctuary of the temple does exist today; its outer walls have been dismantled. The sanctuary was originally surrounded by a passageway on three sides, possibly with a mandapa extension to the east which can be predicted by observing the broken roof slabs set into its walls and the stumps of beans with friezes of ganas. The temple’s doorway is framed by bands of lotus ornament. An unusual, elliptical shaped pedestal is seen within which happens to be empty now. The outer walls have flat pilasters but there are no signs of projections or sculptures niche. The roof is an octagon to dome topped by a tiny amalaka finial. It is framed by corner model elements topped by kuta roofs containing miniature nidhis.

Upper Shivalaya:
The outer walls of the temple create a rectangle containing a sanctuary with a passageway on three sides, opens into a columned mandapa on the east, missing all its internal columns. The walls are built on a basement with a central recessed course containing foliate ornament and narrative scenes. On the south face, Ramayana episodes are pictured, like, waking of Kumbhakarna, Rama fighting with forest enemies. Panels on the west face depict the birth and childhood of lord Krishna, including Krishna sucking Putana’s breasts. Though there are no narratives seen on the north. The walls above have narrow projections by pilasters carried up into the parapet, four on the south and three on the west. The central pilastered projections have panels depicting Krishna lifting Mount Govardhana (south), Narasimha disemboweling his victim (north), etc. These support miniature eaves and kudus, the latter intruding in the kapota eaves. The square tower over the sanctuary has pilastered walls. It is crowned by a large kuta, without finial, the earliest and best preserved example of this type of Dravida styled roof in Early Chalukya architecture.

BADAMI CAVES | UNESCO World Heritage | BANASHANKARI AMMA TEMPLE | HOTEL REVIEW | Wanderlust On Wheel

Badami was the last destination of my 1550kms & 4 Days of ride accross North Karnataka. After visiting Gokak falls I directly rode to Badami and reached at 5:00 pm for which I was fortunate to see evening and morning view of Badami Caves. I also visited Banashankri Amma temple which was 5kms from Badami.
- Descriptions:
Badami caves are recognized by UNESCO world heritage site candidate and were constructed during the rule of Chalukya. The caves are carved with many Hindu temples inside them. The temples in the caves are dedicated to different deities like Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, Mahtma Buddha, Mahavir Jain and their various incarnations. The caves are on the bank of an artificial lake along with Bhoothnath temple. High above the water there are towering cliffs of comparatively soft sandstone. Badami comes under Bagalkot district in Karnataka which is popular for rock-cut temples and caves.
Badami Cave Temples have simple exterior but their interiors have ornamental finishing. These caves are sterling examples of Indian workmanship that existed 15 centuries ago. All the cave walls and ceilings have exquisite statues and figurines carved on them. There are all total 4 caves & distributed in 3 stages.
CAVE 1: Can be reached after climbing around 50 steps from entrance. This cave is dedicated to Lord Shiva with various sculptures for of Lord Ganesh, Kartikeya, Goddesses Lakshmi, Parvati nd Maa Durga encarved. There is a Shiv Ling and right opposite to it a Nandi Bull is placed.

The caves have sculpture of Lord Vishnu in the form of Trivikrama and Varaha Avatar saving Mother Earth. Form here Badami city view can be observed but be careful and please don’t go till edges.
CAVE 3: This cave is also dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is the largest cave among all. There are many neat carvings in the cave which include Trivikrama, Anantasayana, Paravasudeva, Bhuvaraha, Harihara and Narsimha. It can be reached through a staircase of around 50 steps. Outside the cave sitting arrangements are made for tourists.
CAVE 4: It is located higher than other caves and is dedicated to Jainism. Here a sculpture of Jain saint Mahavira in seated pose (often mistaken for Buddha)is placed inside a room in the temple and standing Gomatesvara engarved in walls. There are many mini encarving of Mahavir jain neately carved around the big sculptures. Outside of this cave one can see the beautiful view of Agasthya Lake, Bhoothnath temple and upper Shivalaya.

The monuments are opened for the tourists from 6:00am to 6:00pm on all days of the week including public holidays. It takes around two to three hours to visit all the caves as there are many temples and other structures which the tourists can visit.

- BANASHANKRI AMMA TEMPLE:
Banashankari Amma Temple is a famous and ancient 7th century temple located in Cholachagudd near Badami, in the Bagalkot district of Karnataka. This is a temple dedicated to Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva. There are big Deepa Stamba (lamp tower) built which I found to be attracting including the Garuda Tower. There was a big lake opposite to the temple but was completely dry when I visited. The walk around the lake is brilliantly built like tunnels with pillars and ceilings. The temple is just 5kms away from Badami and I visited this temple twice, once in evening & again in morning while returning back.
