Answer

Ballari (Bellary) has important Jain heritage, but it is better described as a Jain heritage region rather than formally called “Jain country.” Official records for the district list Jain monuments such as the Group of Jain Temples on Hemakuta Hill at Hampi, a Jain temple with inscriptions near the Elephant’s Stable, and the Gnanagitte Jaina Temple in Ballari district.
