    Badami, formerly known as Vatapi, was chosen as the capital of the Chalukyan empire due to its scenic beauty and natural defenses provided by the surrounding hills and lake. The caves at Badami, which feature striking sculptures of Hindu gods such as Nataraja and Vishnu, provide the best views at sunset as the sandstone cliffs take on rusty red hues in the evening light. Visitors are advised to first go to the on-site museum upon arrival to learn more about the historical site.
