Badami in Monsoon!

Badami in Karnataka, South India is mesmerising. More so when it rains.

We never went to Badami in Monsoon. 

Ever since we saw the picture of waterfalls as back drop to Bhootha Natha Temple hung in Hotel Badami Court where we stayed in, we always wanted to be there when it rains.

I happened to see this wonderful picture by Arun Bhat - could not resist sharing this - shot during monsoon last year. A quintessential traveller and outstanding photographer, he conducts photography workshops and workshop in Badami has just got completed. We should see some lovely pictures from him soon on his blog.

Nevertheless, if you are a photography buff, this is the best time to there. This picture below tells it all.

You can still join his Rainforest Photography tour of Agumbe. For more details click here

Badami-Aihole-Pattadakal in the state of Karnataka in South India is a marvelous heritage of cave temples, outstanding Chalukyan temples, and great sculptures. I chanced upon these pictures from our album which are nothing but the finest form of art and embodiment of the finest form of sculpture in Badami. Take a look at he panoramic view of Bhoothanatha temple from the top of the hill. The setting is just beautiful!
