Please read the first part Badami Cave Temples Part 1 (if you haven�t already) before reading this one!
The caves at Badami have become quite a tourist attraction, and also a popular spot for school picnics and excursions. When we visited the caves in late December, there was a huge crowd of school students, all of them thrilled at having a day off from studies. The teachers accompanying them seemed bored, and least interested in anything except making sure that the children didn�t lean too much over the parapet wall and fall off!
