[OC] 7th-Century Relics of Aihole: Tracing the Roots of Temple Architecture at CSMVS Mumbai

Aihole – The Cradle of Indian Temple Architecture

If you're planning a trip to North Karnataka, don't miss Aihole. Home to over 120 ancient temples, it's a fascinating destination where Indian temple architecture evolved under the Chalukyas of Badami.

I recently visited and tried to capture its history, architecture, and serene atmosphere in this vlog. I hope it helps fellow travellers planning a visit.

Links to all three episodes of our Chalukya Heritage series are in the comments.

A few photographs from my recent visit to Aihole, often regarded as the Cradle of Indian Temple Architecture.

Aihole is home to over a hundred temples and monuments, reflecting the Early Chalukyas' remarkable experimentation with temple architecture. Walking through the site feels like witnessing the evolution of architectural ideas that later flourished across the Indian subcontinent.

I found it to be an extraordinary place for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or ancient Indian architecture.

I'd love to hear your observations, favourite monuments at Aihole, or any historical insights you'd like to share.

I've also created a documentary-style video on Aihole. Watch the complete Chalukya Heritage series—links to all three episodes are in the comments below.
