The temple's video is here .. Who helped construct  the  Doddabasap... "

ಈ ಸುಂದರವಾದ ಪ್ರಾಚೀನ ಪರಂಪರೆಯ ರಚನೆಯನ್ನು ನಾವು ಭಾರತೀಯರು ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲವೇ?
क्या हम भारतीय इतनेनिक्कमे हैं कि हम इस खूबसूरत प्राचीन संरचना का प्रबंधन और रखरखाव नहीं कर सकते हैं ???
Are we so useless that we cannot maintain this beautiful ancient structure ???

Can anyone tell the story behind this structure... Any one from Karnataka...? Found this on  a visit to Dambal, Karnataka. No signage, no description is available. Searched google. No authentic info is there.

There was no soul in sight within a radius of 3 km of the structure when I visited.  Even the villagers were not aware of something like this, which is quite amazing.  Later I visited the  e Doddabasappa temple.
There is an old inscription on a huge stone slab  near the eastern gate adjacent to Nandi Statue and refers to the reign of the Western Chalukya King Someshwara IV.  It throws some light on the  raison-d'etre of this Water Body??.  
 I am posting the  overall transcript .  It speaks about repairs to two local water tanks.  " for dredging and repairs in stone and wood to the sluice of the local tank called GONADREDGING and repairs in stone and wood to the sluice of the local tank called GONA-SAMUDRA "  

The complete translation is as under .  

[ This is dated Saka 1106, Krodhin, Ashadha-amavasya, Monday, solar eclipse, Sankranti, corresponding to 1184 A.D., July 9, Monday.  Neither Sankranti norsolar eclipse occurred on the said date.
It records the gift of income derived from the panaya tax on all the gardens excepting those endowed as sarvamanya to the deity Mailabesvara, made in the presence of the god Svayambhu at Dharmapura by Mahapradhana, Senadhipati, Dandanayaka Tejimayya and his subordinates Bakana-dandanayaka and Revarasa, for dredging and repairds in stone and wood to the sluice of the local tank called Gonadredging and repairs in stone and wood to the sluice of the local tank called Gona-samudra.  The gift was entrusted to the sixteen Sethis of  the village, who also made gifts of land to the same tank, in conjunction with the nakharas.  Dharmapura, also mentioned as Dharmavolal, was situated in Masavadi division.  The record which contains a few Sanskirt verses also, was composed by poet Nagadeva Bhatta, son of Bammarasa ]

May be,  one of the tanks mentioned is this particular one.. May be.. May not be..  The temple's video is here .. Who helped construct  the  Doddabasap... "
