    Description of the monument:

    Introduction:
    (Name of the person who built it, purpose of construction, brief
    about context)
    The caves are important examples of Indian rock-cut
    architecture, especially Badami Chalukya architecture, and
    the earliest date from the 6th century. Badami is a modern
    name and was previously known as Vataapinagara, the
    capital of the early Chalukya dynasty, which ruled much of
    Karnataka from the 6th to the 8th century

    Architectural details :
    Early experiments in rock-cut halls were attempted in Aihole where
    they built three cave temples, one each in Vedic, Buddhist and Jaina
    styles. Later they refined their style and cut out four marvellous cave
    temples at Badami. One noteworthy feature of these cave temples is
    the running frieze of Ganas in various amusing postures caved in
    relief on each plinth.
    Special features :
    The Badami cave temples represent some of the earliest
    known examples of Hindu temples in the Deccan region.
    They along with the temples in Aihole transformed the
    Mallaprabha River valley into a cradle of temple architecture
    that influenced the components of later Hindu temples
    elsewhere in India.
    Construction method & material :
    Badami caves were built by using sandstone available on the
    hills in the town. The caves have entrance, a mukha mandapa
    or veranda, a hall, and a small shrine or grarbha griha. The Source for every image:
