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!

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. ImageImageImage
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.

👉🏼 DO U KNOW?
1/4
 Jainism ie 'Samanam' flourished in Tamil Nadu? French Institute of Pondicherry researched & documented 464 sites- hills,caves,temples,loose sculptures, rock shelters, inscriptions etc. It reflects historical, religious, artistic, culture, lifestyle of the Tamils KazhugumalaiMangulam inscription
2/4
 The oldest stone inscription of India which was earlier known to be the Kharavel inscription of Orissa, which was jain, is no more the oldest.Oldest inscriptions are found in Tamil Nadu attributed to Jains again, of 3rd century BC. Such was the glory of Jin Dharma. 🙏🏻
3/4
 Sangam Era was the Golden Era for Jainism. Many south indian dynasties like Early Chola, Pandya, Chera, & even Pallava etc patronised Samanam. After the rise of Shaivism & Vaishnavism and major conversions by Sambandar, Ramanajucharya, Shankaracharya etc Jainism was decimated
