« Narasimha and Badvalinga Temple in Hampi | Main | Octagonal pavilion in Hampi »
An inconspicuous exit near the Lotus Mahal in the zenana enclosure brought us to the elephant stables (detailed description).
The building cluster has elephant pens as well as a building deemed to be the living quarters of the elephant drivers.
Each of the 11 elephant pens has a uniquely designed Bahamani style roof with a ring for the chain (shown below). The chain going to the roof allowed the elephant 360 degree movement without getting entangled.
