My dream is to visit this caves one day I’m very impressed by ancient Indian history and I believe they are much older than people said and much more advanced than we can imagine 🤍

[@elLiven]

Follow the dream!

intresting how the teuth defeats the black and white lies in some books. you knew that in 2015.

[@elLiven]

🤔

[@salyglamour]

Quite nice documentary….India is absolutely beautiful however … the shooting was fast we couldn’t catch any details or enjoy the beauty of the ruins also it was a bad choice of music … I love all Indian music but for this kind of show a slow beautiful calm music in the background would be better 💕 with love from Dubai

[@elLiven]

Thanks for watching and listening! We'll try and slow down future videos. I went through many audio tracks for the caves and the fort 🤷

[@Just_forfun9140]

These incredible sculptors treated rock like a block of butter, or wax, malleable. How is it possible to do such intricate carvings in stone that are only seen in jewelry. Imagine if some of the religions from middle east never came to India, how many such thousands of temples would have been saved from razing to the ground. Very well done video. Where are you from. Thanks.

[@elLiven]

Thank you. Truly beautiful works of art. Fortunately, well preserved Badami remains a testimony to its time. As just another person behind a lens it was mesmerising.

[@joearchuleta7538]

This stone is like butter compared to Marble or Granite, have you not seen the work of Leonardo Di Vinci or Michael Angelo and so many others great masters of the past???

[@Just_forfun9140]

@@joearchuleta7538 I have seen Leonardo's sculptures, they are incredible too. What I have not seen is such intricate carvings anywhere so far. For example in Taj Mahal the sculptors created a screen out of marble. In some other temples granite is used.

[@victorponce7238]

I never seen or heard of these caves before we

[@elLiven]

Very well known in India, but not many have seen them as they are off the beaten track

[@lillianphillips9530]

Would have been so much better without the loud music but it eas interesting what i could hear

[@elLiven]

I've checked the audio again, and yes, the levels are high. Noted for future videos. This one is within YT threshold and so was not changed during upload processing.

[@prabhakarnarayanareddy9592]

Sir, The Chalukya Kings name is properly spelled as Pulakeshi..not Pulakeshin

[@elLiven]

Pulakeshin , confirmed. Keep enjoying 😊 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulakeshin_I

Please for God sake don't wear Boots. It's our temple

[@elLiven]

🤔 it's ours too, and footwear is not allowed inside the caves anyway

[@shivapriyabk9053]

Mantap is not pronounced as man-taap, but as man-tup......

[@elLiven]

True, couldn't get the AI voice to pronounce that correctly. Now switched to human vo 😉

Do you mean at kzbin.info/www/bejne/m57MeoeYpsisibc ? What does it say? The Pallavas overran Badami in 642CE so its possible.

It's mandap... Not mantap

Its both... Variations are regional 😊

Look who's clown here

[@jw-kv1ip]

Richard Pickle. Wikipedia proves nothing. These carvings are much older than 6th century. Open your mind.

[@richardpickle5969]

@@jw-kv1ip oh so that's what you wanted to talk abt that can be true I don't trust Wikipedia too anyway there's also kailash temple in mahrastra that has same rock cut cave temple as badami cave temples

[@Just_forfun9140]

@@elLiven Wikipedia for history may not be reliable. This temple must have been much ancient. Since Islam took over in those days I doubt such temples came into existence. Islamic ruler Tippu Sultan was responsible for a lot of destruction of anything that is Hindu in the south. In other places Islamic Mughal rulers, like Aurangzeb, Khilji and others were responsible for immense destruction, because images are not tolerated in middle eastern religions. I worry about Pyramids in Egypt, and the images of Pharoahs, sphinx, I hope they survive.
