Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Badami caves are located in Badami, Karnataka, India. Inscriptions here help date two of these caves to the 6th-century, while parts of the third cave and the most of the fourth is likely from the 7th-century. All were likely complete in 6th to 7th century, with some additions to the Jain caves likely in early 8th century.
This rock cut cave was completed by 578 CE, a date that can be established from a Sanskrit inscription in this cave near the Varaha panel. Portions of the cave has fragments of colored murals. These were a mix of secular scenes and Hindu legends depicted through paintings. Most of the murals here have been lost to time and elements. |
