Agastya Lake, nestled at the heart of Badami in Karnataka, is a serene, sacred waterbody surrounded by dramatic red sandstone cliffs, ancient cave temples, and iconic Badami architecture. Believed to have mythical origins linked to Sage Agastya, this historic lake offers panoramic views of the Badami Cave Temples, Bhuthanatha Temple, and the rugged hills that beautifully reflect in its tranquil waters—making it a favourite spot for photography and peaceful strolls. Visitors can explore the lake surroundings from early morning to sunset (typically 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM), and entry is free, making it an easy add-on to your Badami sightseeing list. Its central location near the Cave Temples ensures quick access, and the best time to visit is during winter months when the weather is cool and views are crystal clear.
