Lakshmeshwar
Anantanātha Temple
The Anantanātha Temple, also referred to as Hāle Basti, in Lakshmeshwar dates mainly from the late twelfth century with a later hall positioned at the front. It is based on the classical three-petalled cloverleaf ground plan. Whereas the cells to the south and east house statues of Anantanātha and Pārśvanātha, the one to the west is today empty. A further shrine protruding to the west houses another statue of Pārśvanātha. Consequently, the temple has four shrines.
Śaṅkha Basti
The Śaṅkha Basti, alternatively known as the Neminātha Digambara Temple, is an originally eleventh-century foundation which, however, was destroyed and entirely rebuilt, largely during the sixteenth century. It is not clear if the upper shrine was part of the original layout. It houses a particularly beautiful example of a Sahasra-kūṭa.
