Pattadakal Temples: Uncover India’s 1000 Years Old Secrets

Pattadakal was once the cultural capital of the Chalukya Empire, and today it stands tall as a testimony of their phenomenal strides in art and architecture. Pattadakal is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is truly unique as both the North and South Indian Temple architectural styles (Nagara and Dravida) co-exist here.

The site opens early morning at 6am and I strongly recommend reaching here when the gates open. There's no hotel here so you'll need to make Aihole or Badami as your base and take an auto-rickshaw, or taxi from there to come here.

One of the temples, Virupaksha Temple, is also a functional temple and it's great to be there when the prayers happen. Most of the temples here are dedicated to Lord Shiva, though other Hindu deities are also present. More details on the temple in the video.
