Share

Ravana Phadi, one of the oldest cave temples of the Aihole complex. This rectangular temple, which is devoted to Lord Shiva, has a history that dates back to the 6th century. The temple consists of two mandapas and a Shivalinga at the sanctum sanctorum or the inner room. Lined by carved pillars, this sanctum of this Shaivite cave temple has a hall with three entrances. There is a broken column that falls smoothly in line with the entrance, which opens towards the South-West. Free-standing temples are located on both sides of the sudden depressions that are created on a deep ledge of the cave.
