Agastya Lake

Agastya Lake is Badami's most serene and picturesque feature — a sacred ancient tank nestled between red sandstone cliffs, flanked by cave temples on one side and Bhutanatha temples on the other. One of the most beautifully situated temple tanks in South India, it mirrors the dramatic cliff scenery at dawn and dusk. Free to walk around; a top Badami photography destination. The evening light on the red cliffs reflecting in still water is one of Karnataka's finest visual experiences.
