Kamal Basadi, Jain temple inside Belgaum Fort, Karnataka, India

The central ceiling of Kamal Basadi features a large lotus structure with 72 carved petals extending from the center of the dome.

In 1204 CE, Birchiraja, an officer of the Ratta dynasty, commissioned the construction of this temple under guidance from monk Subhachandrabhattarakadeva.

The temple contains five separate cells with tirthankara idols, including a black stone statue of Neminatha and representations of Rishabhanatha and Parshvanatha.

The temple stands protected within Belgaum Fort walls and remains accessible through main entrances that connect to the central streets of Belgaum city.

The temple walls display intricate engravings with cobra carvings at bracket ends, while the mukhamandapa ceiling features a pendant with ashta-dikpala decorations.
