Aminbhavi
Neminātha Temple
The temple has a raised image chamber (garbha-gr̥ha), dedicated to Mahāvīra. This is contained inside an unusual conically-shaped roof tower added to the temple in 2000. The māna-stambha at the front of the temple was raised in the same year. The later closed front hall of the Neminātha Digambara Jaina Temple in Aminabhavi Village follows the underlying principle of the spacious layout of hall type temples.
