Banashankari is located about 5 km from
Badami in
Karnataka. The main attraction of the place is the
Banashankari Temple.
The name of the place was derived from the temple goddess, Banashankari - a form of Goddess Parvati. A pond in front of the temple arrests the attention of the visitors. Banashankari Fair - an annual fair - celebrated during January-February is a major draw.
Badami Railway Station is the nearest railhead.
