Chathurmukha Basadi at Manjeshwar is a Jain temple. I am told this is an ancient temple, but I am not sure how old. This is very close to the another ancient temple Anantheshwar Temple.
This temple has a very unique architecture. The temple derives its name Chaturmukh as there are four entrances to the temple in the four directions. Inside the temple there are four idols of Vardhamana Mahaveera, the founder of Jainism, facing the four directions.

Very nice temple. We went in search of this temple long back but didn't make it to the temple. Nice to read about it.
Wonderful pics of the temple, Rajesh. The details are exciting to read. Thank you.
Quite different from the temples you usually show us. Beautiful in its own way.

Interesting simple architecture, very nice.
This is beautiful . I did not know of this basidi. Next time I will not miss it!
A most unusual style for a temple. Even the colours seem different from what I would expect. No detailed carvings, just unusual lines and shapes.
Interesting architecture. India is a big unknown for me.
Love the architekture.
