The Upper Shivalaya and Lower Shivalaya sit along the ridge of Badami's northern hill, both dating to the seventh century Chalukya period. The lower shrine retains only its sanctum and a Dravidian tower, while the upper temple survives more fully and gives a sweeping panorama of the town and lake below. Both are easily combined with a visit to Badami Fort since they lie along the same walking route.
