| Mudabidri
is known as the ‘Jain Varanasi’ of South India.
There are 18 Jain basadis in Mudabidri; the oldest of
them is the 15th century Chandranatha Basadi, also known
as the Thousand Pillars Basadi. The main entrance, which
faces the east, opens onto a superb monolithic pillar
in front of the doorway. The temple boasts of a valuable
collection of jewel-encrusted metallic images of Jain
tirthankaras, and superb monolithic columns in the Jain
tradition, each with a different carving. The Jain Mutt
near the main temple entrance has a library containing
some beautiful 12th and 13th century palm leaf manuscripts.
It is worth visiting the 17th century Chowta Palace for
its beautifully carved wooden pillars and ceilings. |
