    Basthimakki su parshwanatha temple

    12 months ago 85

    Here’s a quick, authentic overview of the Bastimakki Sri 1008 Suparshwanatha Jain Temple:

    • Place: Bastimakki, near Bailur, Uttara Kannada (close to Murudeshwar, just off old NH‑17). It stands in an open field; you walk a few hundred meters from the highway to reach it. ( jainheritagecentres.com)
    • Deity (Moolnayak): Bhagwan Suparshvanath (7th Tirthankar). The main idol is in padmasan, with Yaksha–Yakshi, and an ornate prabhavali. ( jainheritagecentres.com)
    • Tradition: Digambar Jain basadi. ( jainheritagecentres.com)
    • Present condition: An ancient shrine now largely in ruins—the garbhagriha survives, parts of the hall and enclosure walls are fallen. Local worship happens, and periodic pooja has been noted historically from a nearby Jain temple. ( jainheritagecentres.com)
    • Location help: It lies about 300 m off NH‑17 between Murudeshwar and Manki; coordinates reported approximately 14°06′45″N, 74°29′56″E. ( jainheritagecentres.com)
    • Inscriptions and history: A Kannada inscription beside the temple records multiple grants, including dates corresponding to October 24, 1516 CE and May 16–17, 1538 CE, mentioning services like Hālu‑dhāre, Aṣṭāhnikā, Jīvadayāṣṭamī, and Śrī‑Pañcamī for the temple. ( jainheritagecentres.com)

    About Bhagwan Suparshvanath

    • Suparshvanath Bhagwan is revered for the path of ahimsa, samyaktva, and inner purity. For a simple intro to Suparshvanath, see this reference: .

    Note: The name is sometimes spelled “Suparshwanath/Suparshvanath,” and the place is written “Bastimakki/Basthimakki.” The temple is distinct from other Parshvanath temples (23rd Tirthankar) elsewhere in Karnataka. ( jainheritagecentres.com, lightuptemples.com)

    If you plan a visit, be aware the site is fragile and in a field; go respectfully and avoid disturbing the structure or surroundings. ( jainheritagecentres.com)
