The Badami Cave Temples are a living testimony of the excellence of Indian rock-cut architecture. They are located at Badami, a town in the Bagalkot District in the north part of Karnataka in India. Badami was the capital city of the Early Chalukyas, who ruled a large part of the state of Karnataka between the sixth and eighth centuries. It lies at the mouth of a canyon with stony hills on either side. Water from this canyon flows into a tank. Pulakesin I of the Chalukya dynasty established this town in the 6th century A.D.
