Badami: rock-cut work and royal networks

Reviewed place and institutional names are retained; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The district record associates a cave inscription with Mangalesha and 578 CE. A dated commission cannot be extended to all nearby structures. The tentative-list proposal compares forms across Aihole, Badami and Pattadakal; architectural borrowing is not proof of racial or biological movement.

Dynastic center, craft and rock-cut institution context Main selected contexts approximately sixth–eighth centuries CE Carved buildings, an inscription dated 578 CE and regional architectural comparison Badami, Karnataka: approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound, underwater or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, caste, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, ritual or travel permission is implied.
