Description:

Summary[edit] Description: English: Badami caves are located in Badami, Karnataka, India. Inscriptions here help date two of these caves to the 6th-century, while parts of the third cave and the most of the fourth is likely from the 7th-century. All were likely complete in 6th to 7th century, with some additions to the Jain caves likely in early 8th century. The above panel shows the son of Parvati and Shiva – Ganesha with a bowl of ladoos (sweets). He has only two hands, and simpler iconography than those found in later centuries.
