In Hampi’s standards this is not structure begs a special mention. But since it’s on the main track you would be moving and worth a brief halt. The structure is peculiar with its elevated platform within the pillared open pavilion.
Two concentric rows of square carved pillars support the superstructure. The domed roof structure is decorated with the typical Vijayanagara style brickwork.
A few minutes rest in this cool and less touristy place is not a bad idea. That’s the one you would require, more often than you would think, in the sun baked vastness of Hampi.
You may not easily notice this structure as this is relatively small in size and sits hidden among the coconut and banana plantation. Gejjala Mandapa is located at your left on your way from the Vittala Temple to the main road (Talarigatta –Kamalapur road). On your left about 100 meters before the inter junction you can spot this pavilion. No admission fees.
