History
Basadi Halli dates back to the 12th century during the Hoysala period. The Hoysala kings, known for their patronage of various religions, supported the construction of these Jain temples. The Parshvanatha Basadi is the oldest of the three, followed by Adinatha and Shantinatha Basadis. These temples served as important centers for Jain religious and cultural activities. Over the centuries, they have stood as testaments to the flourishing Jain community in the region and the religious tolerance of the Hoysala rulers. The complex has undergone some renovations and restorations, preserving its historical and architectural significance.
