Chaturmukha Basadi, Jain temple in Karkala, India
The symmetrical temple features four identical doorways leading to a central sanctuary, with 108 stone pillars carved from solid granite blocks throughout its passages.
Established in 1586 by Immadi Bhairarasa Vodeya of the Santara dynasty, this temple represents the architectural achievements of South Indian craftsmen during the Vijayanagara period.
The temple houses images of three Tirthankaras - Aranath, Mallinath, and Munisuvratnath - making it an essential destination for Jain religious practices and ceremonies.
Located 60 kilometers from Mangalore Airport, the temple remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with October through March offering the most favorable visiting conditions.
Each of the temple's granite pillars stands 18 feet tall and contains detailed carvings, while the structure's four identical faces align with the Karkala Bahubali statue.
