Parshvanatha Basadi, Jain temple on Chandragiri Hill in Shravanabelagola, India

The temple features an 18-foot monolithic statue of Parshvanatha positioned over a lotus pedestal with a seven-headed serpent hood above.

Built in 1181 during the Hoysala Empire under King Veera Ballala II, the temple was constructed by Achiyakka, wife of minister Chandramouli.

The temple design follows traditional Jain principles with a plain exterior, containing detailed sculptures of Dharanendra and Padmavati inside the hall.

The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this Monument of National Importance, which includes a main shrine connected to an adjoining meditation hall.

A 65-foot manastambha pillar stands at the entrance, topped with a four-faced idol of Padmavati and flanked by figures of Yaksha and Brahma.
