Chaturmukha Basadi, Gerusoppa, Jain temple in Gerusoppa, India.

The Chaturmukha Basadi temple features a symmetrical structure with four entrances, each leading to a life-size idol of a Jina facing cardinal directions.

Built in 1562 during the reign of Queen Chennabhairadevi, the temple stands as a testament to the Saluva dynasty's influence in the Vijayanagara Empire.

Four decorated pillars support the temple hall, displaying intricate lotus carvings while Dvarapala statues guard the entrances to protect the sacred space.

Located 30 kilometers from Honnavar, visitors need to cross rope bridges over the Sharavati river and navigate through mountain paths to reach the temple.

The temple structure incorporates a cross-shaped design with a central shrine housing four Tirthankara statues made entirely from polished granite blocks.
