Doddappa temple, Adargunchi #Karnataka
Many #Jain temples in Karnataka were converted into Veerashaivite/Lingayat temples. Either the Jina idol was uprooted & Linga was placed or it was converted into a Veershaivite or it was taken off the Main shrine & placed at the entrance.

Built sometime between 10th & 11th century, the temple today is fronted by a stone sculpture of the bull Nandi and houses a massive black stone statue of a Jina, placed alongside a Shiva linga (phallus, the form in which Lingayats worship Shiva).
The entire temple was re-built during the Virashaiva takeover of the basadi. Instead of removing the idol, they converted it & retained it as a sign of domination and control, thereby sending a clear signal of Virashaiva’s triumph over Jainism.
Today is the Rath Yatra of #Jagganath!
Was Jagganath temple of #Orissa a Jain temple?? Is the idol the Kalinga Jina? Scholars, Historians, Architecture, Stambha, Rituals, Literature, Tirthankar idols carved on walls indicate it was. Jaganath is none other than Adinath!
