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.
