Bhoothanatha Temple Badami ಭೂತನಾಥ್ ದೇವಾಲಯ Bagalkote tourism Temple of Karnataka tourism

Bhoothanatha Temple Badami ಭೂತನಾಥ್ ದೇವಾಲಯ Bagalkote Temple of Karnataka tourism. The Bhutanatha group of temples is a cluster of sandstone shrines dedicated to the deity Bhutanatha, in Badami town of Karnataka state, India. There are two major temples here. Temple No.1, on the east side of the lake, called the Bhutanatha temple has a superstructure that resembles early South Indian style or North Indian style with its open mantapa (hall or Veranda) extending into the lake, while the smaller Temple No.2 on the north-east side of the lake, sometimes called the Mallikarjuna group of temples, has a stepped superstructure, commonly found in Kalyani Chalukya constructions. The inner shrine and mantapa (hall) of Temple No.1 were constructed in the late 7th century, during the reign of the Badami Chalukyas. While the outer mantapa, facing the Badami tank, was completed during the rule of the Kalyani Chalukyas of the 11th century. Hence the Bhutanatha temple contain architectural forms from different periods. Studies show that these Kalyani Chalukya architects could have belonged to the same early phase workshop, that later built the nearby Yellamma temple and the Mallikarjuna group of temples.
In the inner hall of the Bhutanatha temple, a heavy architrave above the columns divides the hall into a central nave and two aisles. The pillars are massive and the bays in the ceiling of the nave is decorated with lotus rosette. Perforated windows bring dim light into the inner mantapa. On either side of the foot of the shrine doorway is an image of goddess Ganga on her vehicle, the makara, on the right, and on the left, that of goddesses Yamuna riding the tortoise. There is no dedicatory block upon the lintel to indicate to which deity the initial dedication was for. The Shiva linga in the shrine appears to be a later addition after the original deity in the sanctum was removed.
The temple is unfinished and at the base of the superstructure (Shikhara), are vestiges of Jain architecture. The image niches on the wall of the shrine and the hall are now empty though some decorative elements like makharas (mythical beast) with long tails still remain. To the north of the hall is a small shrine which was originally consecrated for Vishnu. Following later Jain modifications, the temple was eventually taken over by the followers of Lingayatism who built an outer hall and installed a Nandi (vehicle of Shiva) and a Shiva linga inside the sanctum.
The Mallikarjuna group exhibits topological features popularised by the Kalyani Chalukya architects, including plain walls, angled eaves over the open mantapa (hall) and pyramid shaped superstructures made of closely spaced horizontal tiers.
The Bhutanatha group of temples came under the influence of Jains for a period of time. Later, it was taken over by the Lingayats who installed a Shiva Linga in the shrine and a Nandi in front. The temple on the north-east side of the lake is the Mallikarjuna Temple. It belongs to a later period and it was built during the reign of the Western Chalukyas.
The Bhutanatha TempleThe temple on the east side of the Agasthya Tirtha is the famous Bhutanatha temple, built in the style of the early Eastern Chalukyas. The style is a blend of North Indian and early South Indian temple architecture. This temple seems to have been built in two stages. The inner hall and the shrine reflect the style of the Eastern Badami Chalukyas, while the outer hall represents the style of the Kalyani Chalukyas of the west. The inner hall has massive pillars and the bays are decorated with lotus designs. On one side of the doorway of the shrine stands Goddess Ganga, riding the makara, while on the other side is river Yamuna. She is depicted as riding the tortoise. The Shiva Linga in the shrine is believed to be of a later date, put in by the Lingayats.
Mallikarjuna Temple The Mallikarjuna Temple that lies northeast of the lake definitely belongs to the period of the later Chalukyas, the Chalukyas of Kalyani. It has the tiered pyramid structure characteristic of Western Chalukya Architecture.

Love Karnataka natural beauty from Tamilnadu . Tamilnadu is also a beautiful place and presently many areas were developed that's why as being Tamilan , we cannot much feel the beauty of nature as like Karnataka . Both are good and cannot be comparable to each other , Kannada have one thing and the other being in Tamil and the other being in other languages . Our duty is to find all these things and guide others about a these things . Kallaripayattu and Varma Kalai were very famous and in Varma Kalai Adimurai is one of the greatest fighting techniques , which were originally originated from Kerala and Tamilnadu . Karnataka is famous for Channapatna toys were as Tamilnadu is famous for Tanjhavur (Tanjore) Talaiyaati Bommai and North India for Varanasi wooden toys . Karnataka is famous for Mysore Pakku , Tamilnadu is famous for Adirasam , Murukku , Ilaneer Payasam , Maavurundhai and many others which were local and not much famous but taste is good. Karnataka is famous for Kolar Gold fields , Tamilnadu for Kanchipuram Silk . Madurai is one of the cultural captial of Tamilnadu while Mysore is for Karnataka. Vatapi would be ones well developed during Chalukya era with its present beauty . Only our south Indian Architecture can present and make all these everlasting sculptural beauty . We all Indians should not fight ourselves and should learn all Indians beauty. Respect you Sudesh Kottikal , and I would watch you for Karnataka tour . Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You can see all the three style namely Dravida, Nagara and Vesara style temples in Aihole and Pattadakallu, well your subscribers are all in far and vide India kottikkal sir, east, west and north!!!

Sir At lastly you had shown one temple in between of walking way towards caves from Bhootanath temple... that temple belongs to.....
📍📌 Yellamma Temple, Badami.
It situated at the west side of the Agastya Lake.
Yellamma is a popular goddess worshiped in parts of Karnataka and Telangana. Yellamma is a local name for Renuka, the wife of Rishi Jamadagni and the mother of Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Vishnu. The temple was built by the later Chalukyas in the 11th century CE.
This temple is notable for its tower, whose crimpled and layered roof describes a shape halfway between the curved shikharas of North India and the pancake pyramids of the south. The sanctuary's outer wall lifts the roof upon a fabric of verticality, achieved by the single-minded division of its projections into a dense forest of tall, slender, closely-spaced, and delicately engaged pilasters.
