Summary

Description

English: Cave 3 is the largest and the most well-maintained cave out of the four rock-cut caves in Badami, Karnataka, India. This cave is dedicated to God Vishnu. This is a view of the "Verandah".

The photograph attempts to depict the wonderful rock cut architecture of this cave. Because of low level of ambient light inside the cave and Archaeological Survey of India's (ASI) rule of "non usage of tripods inside protected monuments", it's somewhat difficult to shoot hand-held.
You can find more information about the cave temples on English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badami_cave_temples

Note: This photograph uses Adobe RGB color space. It is recommended that the photograph be viewed in a browser/image viewer that supports non-sRGB color space. Safari and Firefox include non-sRGB color space support by default

This is a photo of ASI monument number

N-KA-D108.
