Aihole in Karnataka - India's BEST temples
Vložit

- Aihole Temples in Karnataka represent the the evolution of two unique architecture styles and is often considered the precursor to the Pattadakal Temples - the zenith of Chalukya temple architecture style.
Located in North Karnataka, Aihole is also often called the cradle of Hindu Temple Architecture and today it's a small village with about 120 temples spread over an area of 5 sq km.
I recently visited Aihole and spent two days there exploring these amazing ruins from 8-12 century CE. The most famous temple here is Durga temple famous for it's unique shape and detailed carvings, but there are many other beautiful temple complexes here too like the Mallikarjuna Comple, Meguti Jain Temple, Hucchimalli Gudi, Ramalingeshwara Temple and Galaganatha Temple Complex.
There's only one hotel in town called Hotel Mayura and it's well below average. However, there's no option so one has to stay there itself.

It’s an excellent itinerary - but it’s too much to do in three days. These temples are so full of stories and history and you might struggle to do justice to them in such a short trip. In any case, all the best for a good trip 👍
Thank you. That was just like a meditation video. Loved it.
(I've not even heard of this place...had to look it up on the map).
It would be nice if you could mention what time of the year you are visiting any place.
Thank you so much! I travelled at the end of monsoon season - late September 🙌
Beautiful
Thank you 🤗❤️
Great video! and excited for pattadakal!
Looking forward to sharing it ❤️❤️❤️
Wow man really a soothing video …good to watch ❤
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed ❤️❤️❤️
Great job ❤

Thanks for sharing this wonderful vlog. It is very informative and inspiring. Using a mix of English/Hindi was very good which will help Hindi folks understand the beauty of Aihole which used to be a seat of Rastrakuta who made a wonderful contribution in our great heritage. Love to visit soon!
Thank you Rajesh! Wishing you a great trip there 🙌🙌🙌

I visited in the month of December and it was really hot in Aihole Pattadakkal and Badami. Avoid summer.
Summers can be tough there…
Beautiful temples 🙏🙏🙏
Yes indeed 🙌🙌❤️❤️
Thanks for visiting 🙏
The pleasure was all mine 🙏🙏
Beutiful aihole
Indeed 🙏🙏
Love ur videos
Thank you so much! 🙌🙌
Bro which Camera do u use ? Every frame is very smooth. If you are going to Badami please visit Hulligemmana kolla (It's falls ). I am sure ur skills will justify the beauty of the place.
Thank you so much! This is a mix of iPhone 13 Pro Max and Sony ZV1 🙌
Hamare village hai bhai famous in world
Absolutely! It’s a great place 🙏🙏❤️❤️
❤️🤝❤
Nice video sir..
Thanks a lot Manmath ❤️❤️❤️
Nice one bro 🙂
Thank you 🙌🙌
Good job bro..
Thank you 🙌🙌❤️❤️
great video. any idea on first bus service from badami to aihole and last bus service from aihole to badami?
I don’t remember now the last bus time - but you’ll know the details in the town itself. It’s a very tiny place…also bus timings are not exactly very reliable. I believe you can take an auto also - those bigger ones in case there’s no bus or you miss it.
Pattadakal next 😃😃
Yes 😍😍
Explore Golgumbaz with Guide Jahangir, Bijapur, karnataka
Hopefully soon :)
You are showing yourself more than the location bro☺️ you can have most of the narration in background while showing us the location..
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll certainly keep that in mind next time 👍👍👍
What d boy doing behind you at 4.17 mints frame
Where to stay in aihole?
There’s a hotel called Mayur Yatri Nivas with eik walking distance from the bus stand/ Durga Temple. I stayed there and have covered that in the vlog too. It’s not a great place at all but doable.
Which month u have visited Aihole
September
Thik se dhyan de to Humpi aur Badami itna popular bn skti h ye place but Villagers ne pure Temple campus me kabzaa kr rakha h.. Village ke pass Temple pura gutter se surrounded dekha..
Yes we need to do a lot to preserve our culture and heritage. Both these places are magical and must be looked after well.
Complete failure of indian government.
Did you saw Prehistoric Dolmens there ?
No I didn’t! I’ll have to go back there now :)
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms There are several Dolmens on the top of Meguti Jain hill
Also there is one near Pattadakal along the road
@@viplavsahu Wow! I had no clue...I spent so much time up there on the hill! Thanks for sharing...will surely see it next time I go there :)
Please tell me, what are dolmens. I'm ignorant.
@@lorrainefernandes4120 Dolmens are pre historic burial places
Bro you look sleepy. Had you slept properly?
Yes I did sleep well 🙌🙌
Speek hindi or English
