Summary

Description
English: Badami in Karnataka, also mentioned as Vatapi, Vatapipura and Vatapinagari in historical texts, was an important ancient and early medieval era capital. It is the site of the earliest Hindu cave temples in South India whose date can be established with certainty. In addition the site has many groups of structural temples around the lake, on the cliffs (Shivalayas) and inside the town.
  • These rock cut reliefs are scattered on the faces of sandstone boulders in Badami. They are not a part of any particular cave temple or group of temples in Badami.
  • These depict Hindu legends and religious iconography.
  • The color saturation and how the image appear depends on where you stand and your angle of view, a natural characteristic of the fine grained Badami rock.
