Kanaganahalli, Buddhist archaeological site in Kalaburagi district, India.
The Kanaganahalli Buddhist site extends along the bank of the Bhima River, featuring limestone structures and architectural remains from ancient times.
The excavations conducted between 1994 and 2001 revealed a Maha Stupa and multiple Buddhist structures dating from the 1st century BC to 3rd century AD.
The site contains numerous carved limestone panels depicting Buddhist teachings, royal figures, and daily life scenes from the Satavahana period.
