Bamagāvuṇḍa is the name of an architect who constructed the Jain Basadi temple, according to the “Honnur image inscription of the reign of Ballāla”. Accordingly, “The illustrious mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Ballāladeva and Gaṇḍarādityadeva have donated two hundred kammas and a house of six cubits... for the purpose of providing food to (the ascetics of) the basadi (temple) constructed by Bamagāvuṇḍa, the guḍḍa (disciple) of Rātrimatikanti of the Punnāgavṛkṣmūlagaṇa belonging to the illustrious Mūlasaṅgha”.

This record (mentioning Bamagāvuṇḍa) is incised on the front of the abhiṣeka stand of the image of the standing Tīrthaṅkara Pārśvanātha inside a Jaina temple at Honnur. The record is not dated, but evidently belongs to the reign of mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Ballāla, a Śilāhāra king of Kolhāpur.
