Bhutanatha group of temples, Badami, Hindu temple complex in Badami, India
The Bhutanatha group consists of multiple sandstone temples positioned along the eastern edge of Agastya Lake, featuring intricate carvings and pillared halls.
Built between the 7th and 12th centuries during the Chalukya dynasty, these temples reflect architectural transitions from early Dravida to later Nagara styles.
The temples showcase a religious evolution through their designs, incorporating elements from Shaivite traditions and displaying figures of Hindu deities on their walls.
Located 1.2 kilometers from Badami Bus Stand, the temple complex remains open from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The temple structure includes a gudha-mandapa with four central pillars connected to a square sanctum containing a Shiva linga from different construction periods.
