Jain temples, Halebidu, 12th-century Jain temples in Hassan district, India
The complex contains three temples dedicated to Tirthankars Parshvanatha, Shantinatha, and Adinatha, featuring detailed stone carvings and large pillars throughout their structures.
These temples were constructed during the Hoysala Empire's rule when Halebidu, then known as Dwarasamudra, served as the capital from the 11th to 14th centuries.
Queen Shantala Devi commissioned these temples, demonstrating the strong presence of Jainism alongside Hinduism during the Hoysala dynasty's reign in Karnataka.
The temple complex remains open to visitors daily, with the Archaeological Survey of India maintaining the structures and operating a museum displaying recovered sculptures.
The Parshvanatha temple, built in 1133 CE, contains distinctive lathe-turned pillars and features intricate carvings made from chloritic schist stone.
