Badami Caves are engraved with sandstone hills, each containing a shrine, a gallery, an open veranda and various beautiful columns. The entire temple compound is exclusive example of Hindu and Dravidian architecture with the wall decorated with several divinely carved statues and attractive paintings. The series of caves deliver instructive information regarding the development of sculpture and culture along with Chalukyan design.
The fort is situated on the eastern part of the Bhuthnatha temple on the summit of a cliff and just opposite to the eminent cave temples of Badami. The entrance of the mentioned fort is observed to be watched over by the Nandi, bull of Shiva. The fort is believed to be wrapped up with respect to ancient culture and grandeur dating back to the pre-historic period.
