Badami Cave Temples

Need to buy visiting ticket there to enter cave, beautiful view from the top. Take care of your things because monkeys will be there.

Lived the experience. Age old caves carved with beautiful figures of Shiva, Vishnu, Devis. One cave depicts Jain culture.

A son of the Chalukya king Kirttivarman I, Pulakeshin overthrew his uncle Mangalesha to gain control of the throne. He suppressed a rebellion by Appayika and Govinda, and decisively defeated the Kadambas of Banavasi in the south. The Alupas and the Gangas of Talakadu recognized his suzerainty. He consolidated the Chalukya control over the western coast by subjugating the Mauryas of Konkana. His Aihole inscription also credits him with subjugating the Latas, the Malavas, and the Gurjaras in the north.

The most notable military achievement of Pulakeshin was his victory over the powerful northern emperor Harshavardhana, whose failure to conquer the Chalukya kingdom is attested by the Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang. In the east, Pulakeshin subjugated the rulers of Dakshina Kosala and Kalinga. After defeating the Vishnukundina ruler, he appointed his brother Vishnu-vardhana as the governor of eastern Deccan; this brother later established the independent Eastern Chalukya dynasty of Vengi. Pulakeshin also achieved some successes against the Pallavas in the south, but was ultimately defeated during an invasion by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I.

Pulakeshin was a Vaishnavite, but was tolerant of other faiths, including Shaivism, Buddhism, and Jainism. He patronized several scholars, including Ravikirtti, who composed his Aihole inscription.

I had been to this place around 6 years ago and now it feels totally different. It's one of the great historical monuments in India, and we as responsible citizens need to maintain it in the way it looks. Cleanliness is very much required at this place to keep it for the future generations to come and see its beauty. Roads are too narrow, the government needs to look into this matter seriously.

Lovely place, visit early morning to watch caves without rush,
Disappointed with local people who is living there, its very dirty.

Beautiful. Take a guide to know the history of the place. (I suggest Mr Prasanna Kumar - He explained us very well) Guide cost will be around 500-600 and it will take you for 1.5 - 2 hrs

Mesmerizing carvings, 3 caves of shiva vishnu n mahaveer. Beautiful sculpture n art. I would suggest modern sculptor to make such kind of art in future

It is a set of four caves. The details of the sculpture is good. But just going for these caves is not worth it. It may be combined with other attractions in nearby areas.

Historical place.there are 4 caves with great carving of Mythology. Amazing cravings in each caves.its called Badami because the color of cave is like Almond.if you visit here do take guide to understand the history and significance of the place

Excellent place. Nice sculptures. Preserved the heritage site very well. Too many monkeys and one has to be careful. Cleanliness can improve further.
Road from Hospet highway to Badami is very bad. If tourism has to improve in Karnataka, particularly in such heritage sites, roads are to be laid properly.

Advisable to hire an ASI guide. 2hrs is sufficient to explore the caves and appreciate the history behind the creation and it's current situation. Besides there Caves, you can view the beautiful Agastya lake and it's surroundings. Visit this place with sufficient time on your side, you will enjoy it. Tickets available at the entrance, best time to visit Oct to Feb. A word of caution - too many monkeys, don't carry any edibles or bags and stay calm.

Good.
1. Good view.
2. Good parking.
3. Good road till badami

Not good.
1. Not so clean
2.25rs /per person is not ok for that maintenance.
3. No eatery shops

It's a mind-blowing, humongous ancient historical structure made our of red stones. There's a coexistence of Hinduism and Islam (prayers still take place here) Some parts are a little ruined but still looks pretty amazing! There's a water body in between which adds more beauty to it. The view from the top is littt! There's a huge crowd in every corner, everytime. There are a lot of bold troublesome monkeys. Do lookout for them. There's a meusem on the other side. Entry fees is bare minimum. One would require a day to cover the place in detail. Only downside is the not so effective management and heavy traffic.

During our family tour to ‘Magical Hampi’ in Karnataka, while returning to home, on route we gave a visit to the world famous ‘Badami Caves’. Badami Caves are located in Badami town in which temples of Hindus and Jains exist. Badami caves were built by using sandstone available on the hills in the town. There are four caves in Badami out of which one, two, and three belong to Hindu deities while cave four belongs to Jains.
Cave 1 is carved with an attendant of Lord Shiva in different postures. Cave 2 can be reached through a beautiful staircase of carved stone. At the entrance, there is a veranda having four pillars. The cave has a figure of Lord Vishnu. Cave 3 is also dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is the largest cave among the four caves. There are six pillars that support this cave. Cave 4 is dedicated to the Tirthankaras of Jainism. The entrance of the cave has a veranda having five bays with square-shaped four columns.
This is an excellent example of Indian rock-cut architecture. All the caves are preserved well and maintained in good condition. This is a must visit place for those who love history and architecture. Best month to visit this beautiful place is in between October to January.
Four wheeler parking is available at this place; even you can park the bus here.

The caves are preserved and maintained in very well conditions, the carvings on it are beyond the words. If you are really interested in knowing the details then you can hire a guide, the complete tour will take around 2 hours depending upon the interest of exposure you want.
The path to cover caves is kind of tiring and exhausting so be prepared for that and carry water bottles. Beware of monkeys they are always in action to snatch things from the people.

Place is not clean. Due to dhobi's who live inside the premises. But a must watch for its beautiful stone carving architecture.

Beautiful group of 4 cave temples. Beautiful carvings synonymous with wooden construction can clearly be seen in the carved caves, such as the eaves. But the access to the caves as well as the Bhoothnath temples is bad. It's better to make the 900 m walk rather than taking a four wheeler.

Nice place. Needs a bit of stairs climbing. The four cave temples and the hill itself are awesome. And the views from the top of the hill to the lake and the museum/temples in the side the lake are too good in the first light of the day

Hoho you never get this type of superb atmosphere in india superb caves and nice atmosphere.
It's a cave temple complex of Jain, Hindu and Buddhist caves. They are carved into the stone directly and there are temples and room to offer prayer. The parking place is quite small. You need climb some. The carving is just breathtaking. The view is great and you can see the lake and the temples at the bank of the lake. It's UNESCO world heritage site, there were no translator that I saw. But to see the determination of the people back in those times were extraordinary.

Entry ticket -10/-
Worth and the best

Entrance to Badami caves, is very unhygienic, people wash clothes, there are pigs roaming around, it stinks, sanctity can be maintained better as we are paying entrance fees.

The Badami cave temples are a complex of four Hindu cave temples located in Badami, a town in the Bagalkot district in northern part of Karnataka, India. The caves are considered an example of Indian rock-cut architecture, especially Badami Chalukya architecture, which dates from the 6th century. Badami was previously known as Vataapi Badami, the capital of the early Chalukya dynasty, which ruled much of Karnataka from the 6th to the 8th century. Badami is situated on the west bank of a man made lake ringed by an earthen wall with stone steps; it is surrounded on the north and south by forts built in later times.
There are good restaurants to stay and evening is best time to visit as it sees golden light falling right across the caves.

It's one of the historical places in Karnataka and they have to visit this place once in a lifetime where you get the sculptures are carved in the caves and the place is neatly maintained by the archaeological department you have to pay some fees to get in beware of the monkeys. Don't spoil the place by taking the plastic and its not allowed inside

A must visit UNESCO's world Heritage Site. People interested in ancient history would find the place fascinating. You would admire the skill of the artisans who cut the rocks to create such beautiful sculptures. The place is well maitained by ASI with facility of washroom as well. The place is quite clean and devoid of any trash.

It's super excited place. Which is made by drilling the hillrock. Excellent art, worth visiting. Totally their are 4 view points. 2,3 and 4th is very beautiful. We have proof of our culture and how the same was attacked by others. Above ceiling art is awesome. Everyone has to visit this place. Superb place

I have been here 2 times and always a delight to watch those beautiful stones and carvings. Absolute delight to watch the town of Badami from the top. I plan on visiting this again in the future.

Ancient Richness of the Art and Culture. All the Caves are clean and maintained. Don't carry food stuff as the monkeys may bother you. Carry enough water to drink. The structures are damaged at many places.

I wish this place is kept under vigilance round the clock. The caves are mesmerising, need to keep it safe from tourists. The approach road is so bad and definitely needs to scale up. Sign board to this place are far and few.

The most beautiful place if you love historical monuments. You can't miss this place it's almost 8 hours drive from Bangalore but it's worth. You will me mesmerized by the surrounding beauty of this place the caves are engraved from a single granite mountain. Caves are full or Hindu idols engraved in the walls. My suggestion is come directly to this place spend one full day and there are nice 3 star hotels just nearby and next morning visit Hampi. Don't forget a camera if you love photography.

Marvelous architecture. Feast for eyes if you are keenly interested in ancient architecture and civilization.
If you like history then this place have plenty of it to fulfill your knowledge hunger for history.

Located just outside the town.the caves are simply marvellous. Good to find the caves in good condition. Also pleasing is the effort of State Government in developing the basic facilities around this tourist place.

Superb place.certain points to be noted for this

2.avoid eye contact with monkeys so avoid any eatables in hand.monkeys will walk right next to you dont panic just walk
3.steps r high aged ppl dont try to walk around much or climb higher
