Today's Missing Temples as seen in the Fort of Belgaum in 1860
These are some images of the temples as seen in 1860. No one knows where are these located today and whether they have been demolished because of 21st Century's Cement Buildings Evolution.
If government had really taken necessary action and preserved these temples, may be we could have had chance to see them as an antique and preserved monument under the Act of ASI, Dharwad.
Lets us hope so that the available monuments in Belgaum Fort do not get a bad ending and get listed in Endangered List of human revolution.
Master Piece Jain Navagraha Idol :
This is the only Jain Navagraha Idol in the whole world, which clearly points out that during the 10th century Jains believed in the Navagraha puja. This idol was found in the premises of the temple with 9 Tirthankars inscribed on it.
Now the recent 2006 Jain Navagraha Temple has been newly built in Varur near Hubli which is just opposite to VRL [Vijayanand Road Lines] on Pune - Bangalore NH4 Highway. The Nine Tirthankars are standing on nine Planets with Bhagwan Parswanath being in the Centre.
