Travel Tips Of Banashankari Temple
Badami, Karnataka, India
Located in Cholachagudd, the Banashankari Temple is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in North Karnataka. Dedicated to Goddess Banashankari (an incarnation of Parvati), the temple was originally built by the 7th-century Chalukyas. The name 'Banashankari' comes from 'Vana' (forest) and 'Shank ari' (consort of Shiva), as the temple was originally located in a dense forest. The present structure reflects a mix of Vijayanagara and Maratha styles after being rebuilt in the 18th century. The temple is famous for its large water tank called Haridra Tirtha, which is surrounded by stone walkways. The idol of the Goddess is carved out of black stone and depicts her sitting on a lion, trampling a demon. The temple attracts thousands of devotees, especially during the annual fair (Jatre) in January. It is a living temple where rituals are performed daily with great devotion. Visiting this temple provides a look into the vibrant religious culture of the region, contrasting with the quiet ruins of the caves. The atmosphere is filled with the scent of incense and the sound of temple bells.
