Chaturmukha Basadi, Karkala

The Chaturmukha Basadi, was built in the late 16th century[4] by Immadi Bhairarasa Vodeya of the Santara dynasty in 1586. [5]

It has four symmetrical faces and is thus called chaturmukha (four faces) basadi (a term used to refer to Jain temples in South India).[1] The temple has images of Tirthankara Aranath, Mallinath and Munisuvratnath.[2] This basadi, completely made of carved granite rocks, is known as Tribhuvana Tilaka Jina Chaityalaya or Ratnatraya dhama from inscriptions.[6]

It faces the famous Karkala Bahubali statue installed in the year 1432 by Veera Pandya of the Santara dynasty on February 13, 1432, on the instructions of the Bhattaraka of Karkala, Lalitakeerti.
