Reviews Of Kamala Basadi

Belagavi, Karnataka, India
Historical Significance:: Kamala Basadi, also known as Kamal Basti, is a highly revered 10th-century Jain Temple nestled within the formidable walls of the Belagavi Fort. It was built in 1204 AD by Birchiraja (also called Jaya Raya), a minister in the court of the Ratta rulers, making it a significa nt relic of the dynasty's patronage of Jainism. The temple is dedicated to Lord Neminatha, the 22nd Jain Tirthankara. Its construction is a testament to the rich cultural and religious pluralism that characterized the region's history, as it exists in harmony with a mosque (Safa Masjid) and Hindu shrines inside the fort complex. It is believed that the temple was renovated by the Archaeology Department in 1996. The temple's name, 'Kamala' (Lotus), is derived from its unique architectural feature—an intricate lotus carving on the ceiling of the main hall. Its historical importance is further documented by stone tablets providing details of its origins. This temple is considered one of the finest examples of Jain architecture in the region, attracting both devotees and architecture enthusiasts. It serves as a living legacy of the ancient Jain community in Belagavi and is protected as a monument of national importance. The temple houses multiple idols, including those of Lord Sumatinath and Lord Adinath. It is a must-visit for anyone interested in the confluence of history and spirituality. The tranquil atmosphere inside the temple provides a peaceful retreat from the outside world. The temple’s continued spiritual use and historical preservation make it a vital landmark. The original structure suffered some damage over the centuries, but the remaining parts showcase exceptional craftsmanship. The nearby ruins of the Chikki Basadi suggest a larger religious complex once existed.
