Banashankari Amma Temple, Hindu temple in Badami, Karnataka, India
The temple structure features an eight-armed black stone deity statue measuring five feet in height, situated within the main sanctum sanctorum.
During the 6th century CE, the Chalukya dynasty established Badami as their capital and designated the Banashankari Temple as their primary place of worship.
The annual temple festival takes place during Pushya month, with thousands of devotees participating in traditional ceremonies and religious performances.
The temple remains open from sunrise to sunset, with dedicated prayer sessions conducted three times daily by resident priests.
The deity holds different objects in each of her eight hands: a sword, bell, trident, and lotus on the right, and a drum, shield, severed head, and vessel on the left.
