Gejjala Mantapa, near Vittala Temple, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampi" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Hampi">Hampi</a>, Karnataka, India. Information from the panel installd at the entrance to this matapa is as follows:
<p>This utsava (festival) mantapa, locally called Gejjala mantapa, is called 'Paramkusha mantapa' in a 16th century inscription which details the grants given for the worship of the processional deity, Vitthala. This ornate, open, pillared mantapa rests on a high adhishtana composed of six conventional mouldings - lotus petals, swans and kirthimukhas embellish the topmost rows. The twelve pillars that support the roof carry chamfered brackets and are decorated with carvings of Purnakumbha, miniature shrine motifs, and other Vaishnava gods and goddesses.

The raised platform at the center housed the processional deity for worship during festivities. The parapet around the roof is adorned by shala, kuta and panjara motifs. Above the roof is an intricately decorated, two-tiered shikara with a circular stupi at the apex.
