SINGARADA HEBBAGILU

Located behind the elephant stables, this is one of the oldest and most massive of the gateways, in the capital city. The gate, called Singarada Hebbagilu or the Beautiful Door according to an inscription that has been discovered near it, was the main entrance to the city. There are two temples within the gateway as well. Now in a state of dilapidation, the gateway is being restored to it former splendor, so that it can truly bear its ancient name.
