Hallur
Digambara Jaina Temple
The Digambara Jaina Temple at Hallur dates from the second half of the seventh century CE and consists of a sanctum preceded by a large closed hall. The additional sanctum located on the forst floor level is today empty. It is significant that after its conversion to Vira-Śaivaism, only the lower shrine of the temple was fitted with a Śaiva icon, a liṅga, and that the new Liṅgāyat owners of the sacred structure did not continue to use the raised shrine for ritual purposes
