Anubhava Mantapa, established by Basavanna in the 12th century C.E., is a religious complex located in Tipranth, Basavakalyan, in the Bidar district of Karnataka. It is the first religious parliament in the world, whose name is literally translated as "experience pavilion", and was an academy of mystics, saints and philosophers of the lingayat faith in the 12th century. It was the source of essentially all religious and philosophical thought pertaining to the lingayat, and was presided over by the mystic Allama Prabhu, with numerous Sharanas from all over Karnataka and other parts of India participating.
This institution was also the fountainhead of Vachana literature, which was used as the means by which Veerashaiva religious and philosophical thought was propagated. Other giants of veerashaiva theosophy, including Akka Mahadevi, Channabasavanna, and Basavanna himself, were active at the Anubhava Mantapa. The Anubhava Mantapa is also called the Mahaamane.[1]
Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to Anubhava Mantapa in his speech during the inauguration of a new parliamentary building, stating that the Anubhava Mantapa established by Basavanna in the 12th century is the foundation of parliamentary democracy.[2]
