Badami cave temple,

भारतीय वास्तुकला (Wonderful Indian Architecture)'s photo.Varah sculpture Inside Badami cave temple, dated to 6th century.
They cut rock like Titans but finished like jewellers.
One noteworthy feature of these cave te...mples is the running frieze of Ganas in various amusing postures caved in relief on each plinth. The outside verandas of the cave temples are rather plain, but the inner hall contains rich and prolific sculptural symbolism. Art critic Dr. M. Sheshadri wrote of the Chalukya art that they cut rock like Titans but finished like jewellers.
