Doddabasappa Temple, Dambal, Hindu temple in Dambal, India.
The Doddabasappa Temple features a seven-tier structure built with soapstone, containing a sanctum, vestibule, and main hall dedicated to Lord Shiva.
During the 11th and 12th centuries, the town of Dambal, known as Dharmapura, was under the rule of Queen Lakshmidevi of the Western Chalukya dynasty.
The temple houses a Shiva Linga in its sanctum, with sculptures of Brahma, the Sun god, and a large Nandi bull positioned at its entrance.
The temple opens twice daily, from 7:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 19:30, with regular bus connections available from Gadag, located 21 kilometers away.
The temple exhibits a 24-pointed uninterrupted stellate plan with equidistant projections, created by rotating a square around its center point.
