Jain Temple, Kidanganad, Jain temple in Sultan Bathery, Wayanad district, India

The granite temple spans 25 meters in length and features a raised platform supported by carved square pillars beneath a stone slab roof.

Built by Jain migrants in the 13th century during the Vijayanagara Empire, the temple later served as an ammunition storage for Tipu Sultan.

The temple contains intricate carvings including the Dharmendra Bandanam snake motif, which devotees trace during religious ceremonies and festivals.

The Archaeological Survey of India manages this protected monument, which opens daily from 8 AM to 5:40 PM without entrance fees.

The temple well revealed artifacts during its 2002 cleaning, including ancient figurines of Ganesha and Vishnu beneath its waters.
