Badami
The
capital of the Early Chalukyas, Badami is picturesquely situated at
the mouth of a ravine between two rocky hills. Badami is famous for
its five cave temples - all hewn out of sand stone on
the precipice of a hill. Enter the first cave temple - past Shiva's
door keepers - and there he is! The eighteen-armed Nataraja striking
81 dance poses! The largest and most ornamental is the third cave temple
dedicated to Vishnu. Overlooking the cave temples is a reservoir dotted
with temples dedicated to Vishnu and Shiva. Also a must are the Bhutanatha
temples that lend their name to the lake beneath the cave temples.
