to Badami.
Once a Chalukyan capital, Badami is known for its rock-cut cave temples and the sandstone hills around the town. The caves draw your attention to carved figures and pillared interiors; the lake brings the view back out into the open. Let the two experiences balance each other. You can spend time with the details, then pause for a wider look at the setting.
