History & significance

A Jain temple on Chandragiri hill at Shravanabelagola, raised in 982 CE by the Ganga minister Chavundaraya during the reign of Marasimha II and completed by his son Jinadeva. Its sanctum holds an image of Neminatha, and the temple is also called Sruta-tirtha because the acharya Nemichandra is said to have composed the Gommatsara here.
