Shri Kshetra Kanakagiri Digambara Jaina Basadi ( Maleyur ), Chamarajanagar - History details

A 5th–6th‑century Jain hill temple attributed to the Western Ganga dynasty, later patronised by Hoysala, Vijayanagara and Wadiyar rulers. The fort‑like complex atop ~350 steps enshrines Parshvanatha with goddesses Padmavati and Jwalamalini; inscriptions recall Acharya Pujyapada and ancient grants. Known for Kalasarpadosha parihara, it surveys forested Maleyur hills.
