English: Chaturmukha Basadi (view from the neighboring hillock where the revered Gommateshwara statue is situated. The Basadi is built in a form of a square mandapa or hall and has 4 identical doorways with a lofty doorway and pillared entrance on each of its four sides. The roof is flat and constructed with huge granite slabs. A prominent roof called the shikhara surmounts the top of the Garbha griha, and dominates the surroundings. There are a total of 108 pillars inside and outside the temple. This temple is dedicated to the Theerthankara Aranatha, Mallinatha and Munisuvrata who are represented by twelve black-stone images in standing pose and of identical shape at the four cardinal points of the Basadi.
