A 13th-century Jain temple in Wayanad, showcasing Vijayanagar-style architecture and later repurposed by Tipu Sultan for storing arms during his invasion.
While Jains form only 0.01% of the population today, it is interesting to consider that they were enough of a flourishing community in North Kerala that they built a temple in the hills of Sultan Bathery in Wayanad. Constructed in the 13th century, this is one of the oldest and most important Jain temples in Kerala and was built in the architectural style of the Vijayanagar Dynasty, which spanned much of south India.
The stone structure features square columns that support the stone slab roof. The columns and doorways bear carvings of floral designs, a snake and a swan, which are of significance to the Jain religion, and sculptural depictions of people similar to Hindu temples. The temple also has statues of Jain Tirthankaras or spiritual teachers.Â
Interestingly, when Jainism faced a decline by the 18th century, the temple was used by invading Mysore King Tipu Sultan, to store arms.
