2018 winner from Wiki Loves Monuments edit

 

I was looking at commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018_winners#India and saw that this image placed among the best images shared from India for this year. It is not clear to me how this fort relates to the rest of the site. Apparently people built lots of things here over 100s of years. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:57, 31 July 2019 (UTC)Reply


Badami, formerly known as Vatapi, is a town and headquarters of a taluk by the same name, in the Bagalkot district of Karnataka, India. It was the regal capital of the Badami Chalukyas from CE 540 to 757. It is famous for its rock cut monuments such as the Badami cave temples, as well as the structural temples such as the Bhutanatha temples, Badami Shivalaya and Jambulingesvara temple. It is located in a ravine at the foot of a rugged, red sandstone outcrop that surrounds Agastya lake. Badami has been selected as one of the heritage cities for HRIDAY - Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana scheme of Government of India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Umesh suresh hali (talkcontribs) 10:37, 20 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
