Summary[edit]

Description
English: Badami in Karnataka, also mentioned as Vatapi, Vatapipura and Vatapinagari in historical texts, was an important ancient and early medieval era capital. It is the site of the earliest Hindu cave temples in South India whose date can be established with certainty. In addition the site has many groups of structural temples around the lake, on the cliffs (Shivalayas) and inside the town.
  • The ceiling, parts near the brackets and upper sections of the pillars have fragments of paintings at the Badami cave monuments. Some large patches show concentric circles painted in different shades of colors.
  • Four colors are identifiable: green, blue, white and a shade of red or brown. Of these, the green seems to be the one that has survived more into the modern era.
