Brahma Jinalaya, Lakkundi, Jain temple in Lakkundi, India.

The Brahma Jinalaya temple features a square plan with a five-story vimana, incorporating intricate carvings made from chloritic schist stone throughout its structure.

Queen Attimabbe commissioned the construction of this temple in 1007 CE during the Western Chalukya rule, when Lakkundi was known as Lokkigundi.

The temple holds religious importance with its sanctum housing a Mahavira idol, while the inner mandapa displays statues of Tirthankaras, Brahma, and Saraswati.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a bus from Gadag railway station to Lakkundi village, located 12 kilometers southeast of Gadag-Betageri on National Highway 67.

The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this temple, which remains the sole survivor among five Jain temples that once existed in this region.
