Chatrumuka Basadi || Jain Temple || Karkala
At a distance of a little over 60 kilometers from Mangalore, Karkala is an important Jain pilgrimage site. The town has a number of historical and religious landmarks of which the Chaturmukha Basadi is the most well-known. The temple gets its name from its unique architectural plan wherein the temple is open from all sides.
Jain Temple Karkala Karnataka
Temple towns are usually filled with mendicants, pilgrims, chanting pundits and the entire clamor that accompanies Indian pilgrimages, but Karkala is marked by its silence. There is a lot to see and study at Karkala. The Jains built this temple on top of a hill in AD 1000 to erect a memorial and place of worship to their god, the Gandharva. The statue of the Gandharva is worth seeing as it is marvelously carved out of a granite rock that rises 300 feet.

Varanga is a village in Hebri Taluk in Udupi district of Karnataka, India. It has a population of 4,011 according to 2011 census. A Jain temple in the village is a tourist place. The main attractions here are the Kere (Lake) Basadi and Neminath Basadi. Varanga is a small village located at a distance of 26 Km from Karkala in Udupi district, Hebri taluk. This village is found on the way from Karkala to Agumbe. Varanga is a popular pilgrim center, especially for Jains. This beautiful village houses most ancient and wonderful Basadis (Jain Temples). The main attractions of Varanga are Neminatha Basadi, Chandranatha Basadi, and Kere Basadi. These beautiful, picturesque locations are the best way one can relax amidst tranquility. MetroSaga brings to you reasons why you must visit the Basadis of Varanga.
Reasons to visit Varanga
1. Serene, picturesque and rejuvenating: A temple in the midst of a lake, another one on the bank of the lake and another one which houses the Jain Mutt – such is the tranquility found in Varanga. This village is also blessed with scenic views and pleasant weather during the latter half of the year, which is more than enough to make you consider more than one visit!
2. To the temple, by boat: The Kere Basadi is situated in the middle of a lake, and the only way to reach this marvelous house of serenity is by boat. This isn’t something we’d usually come across and definitely calls for a trip!
3. The marvelous sculptures: At the Neminatha Temple, two beautifully sculpted elephants greet you, just before the impressive granite entrance. A scene of two elephants garlanding a deity has been carved on the top central portion of this section. Immediately above this, there is a sculpted relief image of a demon face, which is placed for warding off evil forces. These demon-like-faces are typically found above Jain temples across Karnataka. Here it is made out of the ornate granite slab of the entranceway, unlike other temples in Karnataka where these carvings are on brass or bronze. The main attraction of this basadi is 5 feet black statue of Lord Neminatha, the 22nd Tirthankara in Padmasana position seating on ‘Kamala Peeta’ (lotus seat).
4. Rich in history: With the Kere Basadi being over 850 years old, the Neminatha Basadi being 1200 years old and the Chandranatha Basadi being 1000 years old, there surely is a lot of historical significance attached to this place. Karkala was under the Alupas, who later ceded it to the Santaras. The rulers of Karkala were called Bhairarasas, with King Veera Bhairarasa (1390 AD-1420 AD) as the first prominent king of the dynasty. However, the Varanga temples were built at least a couple of centuries before the Bhairarasas, i.e., they predate the ones built by the Jain rulers of Karkala and Moodabidri.
5. Rich in aquatic life: The lake housing the Kere Basadi and gently touching Neminatha Basadi is rich in aquatic life, be it the amazingly beautiful water lilies, freshwater turtles, fish or water snakes! The lake is deep and one can even feed puffed rice to the fish here.
6. The architecture: Although the Kere Basadi is 850 years old, this temple looks renovated, possessing a modern look due to the large marble tiles that surround the outer wall, along with the tile roofing. However, if you look closely at the temple towards its eaves, the frieze projections look old. Also, the pitched roofing above the central section, with a kalasha on its top, rises above the modern-tiled pitched roofing that surrounds it. It also has four entrances in fur different directions. Neminatha Basadi, on the other hand, is an east-facing temple set in a large enclosure surrounded by high walls with two entrances. The main entranceway, at the east side of the enclosure walls of the temple’s courtyard, is a quite large entrance porch which opens up to the inner courtyard of the temple.
