Belgaum

Kamala Basti

The early thirteenth-century Kamala Basti, situated inside the walls of Belgaum fort, has an arrangement of three aligned halls (maṇḍapas) with an open pillared hall, connected to three porches. The main icon of the Kamala Basti at Belgaum has a back plate adorned with the branches and leaves of a tree.
