Badami Cave Temples & Agastya Lake Day Trip
Badami was the capital of the early Chalukyas, and its four cave temples, cut into the sandstone cliffs between the 6th and 8th centuries, are among the earliest rock-cut temples in the Deccan. Cave 1 holds a colossal Shiva; Cave 3 is the finest, with Vishnu in his various forms. Below, the Agastya lake sits green between the cliffs, with the Bhutanatha temple at its edge and fort walls on the ridge above.
