Bhandari Basadi

Bhandari Basadi anchors the town center as the largest Jain temple in Shravanabelagola, distinct from the hilltop shrines on Vindhyagiri and Chandragiri. Devotees visit here as part of the wider pilgrimage circuit, often before or after the hill climbs. The temple's scale and central location make it an easy stop for those with limited time or mobility. It functions as an active place of worship rather than a purely archaeological site.
