SIGHTSEEINGS

BANGALORE Tipu Sultan's PalaceTipu Sultan's Summer Palace, in Bangalore, India, is an example of Indo-Islamic architecture and was the summer residence ofthe Mysorean ruler Tipu Sultan. Hyder Ali commenced its construction within the walls of the Bangalore Fort, and it wascompleted during the reign of Tipu Sultan in 1791. After Tipu Sultan's death in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, the BritishAdministration used the palace for its secretariat before moving to Attara Kacheri in 1868. Today the Archaeological Survey ofIndia maintains the palace, which is located at the center of Old Bangalore near the Kalasipalyam bus stand, as a tourist spot.

BANGALORE Bull TempleThe Bull Temple in Bangalore, also known as Nandi Temple, is famous for its large statue of the sacred bull, Nandi. In fact,

with a height of around 4.6 metres and a length of about 6.1 metres, the idol of Nandi in this temple is said to be one of thebiggest in the world. This unique feature attracts many devotees and tourists to the place.

SHRAVANBELAGOLA Bhadrabahu?c?rya Bhadrab?hu (c. 367 - c. 298 BCE) was, according to the Digambara sect of Jainism, the last Shruta Kevalin (all knowingby hearsay, that is indirectly) in Jainism but ?v?t?mbara, believes the last Shruta Kevalin was Acharya Sthulabhadra, but wasforbade by Bhadrabahu from disclosing it. He was the last acharya of the undivided Jain sangha. He was the spiritual teacher ofChandragupta Maurya, the founder of Maurya Empire.

SHRAVANBELAGOLA Manastambha BasadiManasthambha, a huge granite pillar at Hiriangadi. The manasthambha pillar was installed around the middle of the 15thcentury by Pandya, the grandson of Bhairava I who had established the control of the Kalasa house over Karkala region for thefirst time. Measuring 16.5 metre or 54 feet in height, this manasthambha in front of the Neminatha Mandir is one of theprotected monuments by the ASI.

MUDBIDRI/MOODABIDRI Guru BasadiGuru Basadi was formerly called Parshwanatha Basadi; but later, owing to bad times and the declining of Jains in number, thisBasadi was covered by the growth of trees and bamboos. About the 8th century a Digambara monk coming here fromShravanabelagola chanced to pass by this spot where this Basadi exists, when he saw a rare scene of a Cow and a Tiger drinkingwater from the same basin and a calf and a cub suckling the Tiger and the Cow respectively, forgetting their natal enmity.Smelling something rare and inexplicable the monk walked to the spot, removed the bushy growth and saw a beautiful and largestatue of Bhagawan Sri Parshwanatha Swami cut in stone. The statue happened to be a thousand years old. The statue wasreinstalled at the same spot according to the rituals called Panchakalyana in 714 A.D. It was then named Guru Basadi after thediscoverer.

MUDBIDRI/MOODABIDRI Tribhuvan TilakChudamani BasadiSaavira Kambada Temple (S?vira Kambada Basadi) or Tribhuvana Tilaka C???ma?i), is a basadi or Jain temple noted for its1000 pillars in Moodabidri, Karnataka, India. The temple is also known as "Chandranatha Temple" since it honors thetirthankara Chandraprabha, whose eight-foot idol is worshipped in the shrine. The town of Moodabidri is noted for its eighteenJain temples but Saavira Kambada Temple is considered the finest among them.
