Badami Cave Temples Part 4
Blog: A Wandering Mind - 23 September 2011
The fourth cave at Badami is the only Jain cave among the four. This is also by far the simplest cave, though there are quite a lot of renditions of the Jain Tirthankars. This was also the only cave which the school students gave a miss, so it was practically empty! Unfortunately, this cave seems to get less than its rightful share of eyeballs, so it was dark and dank. The inner sanctum was so dark that I could see nothing!

The Cave Temples of Badami
Blog: A Wandering Mind - 17 September 2011
The main attractions at Badami are the rock cut cave temples. Carved out of the sandstone cliffs in the late 6th and 7th centuries, these caves have a verandah at the entrance with pillars cut into the stone. This leads to a pillared hall or mandapa, which in turn leads to a small sanctum. There are 4 such caves – the first one is dedicated to lord Shiva, the second and third are dedicated to Lord Vishnu and the fourth one is a Jain cave.
