Odegal Basti is located at Shravanabelagola and is datable to 14th Century A.D. Odegal Basti is so called because of the stone props against its basement (Odegal means broken stones). It is the only Trikutachala (triple-shrine) temple at Shravanabelagola. It is called the triple-shrine because of the three Sanctums present inside the temple.
