History & significance

The largest of Lakkundi's Jain temples, raised in 1007 CE by Attimabbe, wife of the general Nagadeva, and the earliest dated example of the Western Chalukya idiom in the village. Its sanctum lintel carries Mahavira, though the temple is now worshipped as a shrine of Neminatha.
