How To Reach Thousand Pillars Temple
Dharmasthala, Karnataka, India
The Thousand Pillars Temple, also known as Saavira Kambada Basadi, is an architectural marvel of the 15th century. It is the most prominent of the 18 Jain temples in Moodabidri, a town rightfully called the 'Jain Kashi' of the South. Built in 1430 AD by the local ruler Devaraya Wodeyar, it took 31 years to complete this massive stone structure. The temple is dedicated to Chandranatha Swami, the 8th Tirthankara, whose 8-foot-tall bronze idol resides in the sanctum. What makes this temple legendary is the fact that it has 1,000 granite pillars, and remarkably, no two pillars are identical in their carvings. The carvings depict diverse subjects, from African giraffes and Chinese dragons to local folk tales, indicating the global trade links of that era. The temple consists of seven halls (mandapas), each displaying a high level of craftsmanship. The overall structure resembles Nepalese temples with its multi-layered wooden roofs, a rare sight in South India. The spiritual vibes of the temple are complemented by its peaceful surroundings. It remains a living monument where Jain rituals are performed with ancient precision. Visiting this temple is like walking through a stone-carved encyclopedia of world cultures and spiritual history.
