Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Not to confuse this with the Octagonal Water pavilion you may find on the main road to Hampi. This structure, as the name indicates, is a gigantic bathing area made in the shape of an Octagon. The bath shelter is designed with an octagonal shaped platform at the middle and an encircling pillared veranda around it. The circular section between the veranda and the platform is the water (now empty) area. To the west of it you can spot the ruined bases of numerous palaces.

This is at a bit isolated location though pretty well connected by a mud road. At about a kilometer or so in a northeast direction from the Chandrashekara temple you can spot its polygon structure. Most probably a makeshift thorny gate closes the mud road (what you see in the picture is the Saraswathi temple nearby).

Just jump over it and proceed. No one would question you as this has been made by the local flower farmers to protect their flowers being eaten by the wandering cattle! For all that matter a lone farmer (the only pathfinders available at times) can direct you to the location.courtesy hampi.in
