Kamala Basti, Belgaum, Karnataka India

In 1204, two Bastis or settlements were built inside the walls of the Belgaum Fort, one of which is named Kamala Basti. It was built in the style of the late Chalukyans and this has an idol of Neminatha in black stone. The main highlight of this place is the ‘Mukhamantapa’ which is a lotus carved on the ceiling. Travellers can also visit the ruined temple of the Jains that stands just outside the Kamala Basti.
