Jain Temple Sulthan Bathery

The Jain Temple in Sulthan Bathery dates to the 13th century and stands as a rare example of Jain temple architecture in this part of Kerala, built during a period when Jain rulers held influence over the region. During Tipu Sultan's campaigns, the structure was repurposed as an armoury and battery, a history that lends the town its present name. Carved stone pillars and a quiet courtyard remain from its original form, making it a compact but rewarding heritage stop.
