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.
