Badami-Aihole-Pattadakal in the state of Karnataka in South India is a marvelous heritage of cave temples, outstanding Chalukyan temples, and great sculptures. I chanced upon these pictures from our album which are nothing but the finest form of art and embodiment of the finest form of sculpture in Badami. Take a look at he panoramic view of Bhoothanatha temple from the top of the hill. The setting is just beautiful!
