Nobody knows what the origin of Gejjala Mantapa is. Its proximity to the Vittala Temple indicates a religious purpose, but this could also signify that it was the temple leader's latrine—nature calls even the most exalted of men, especially after his sixth cup of chai. Owing to the density of a local banana plantation, tour guides say the structure is easily missed, which would be no great loss for the traveller. There are no admission fees, but a telling twenty-pence slot is found outside a stone cubicle.
