This is also another girls trip we were 11 for this trip destination was Varnga jain temple. Divine nature has blessed all the places on this earth. Beauty should lie in your eyes actually in this place i will say "really found the God in nature"
The
main highlight of this temple is that it is located in the middle of a lake. There is a small boat that take you to the temple and way
back. The temple is located quite far from the city. The lake is really
beautiful with lot of fish and lotus.
Varanga is a small village located at a distance of 26 Km from Karkala
in Udupi district. This village is found on the way from Karkala to
Agumbe. Varanga is a popular pilgrim center, especially for Jains. This
beautiful village houses most ancient and wonderful Basadis (Jain
Temples).
Attractions of Varanga are Neminatha Basadi,
Chandranatha Basadi, and Kere Basadi (varnga jain temple). These beautiful locations are the best way one can relax amidst tranquility.The beauty a temple built in the vicinity of a dazzling lake can
never be ignored. The essence of calmness and serenity can be felt
easily.
It is believed that this Basadi has a history of 850 years. The basadi,
raised on a stone platform is a chaturmukha, which means four entrances
in four directions and houses the idols of four Tirthankaras, Bhagwan
Parshwanatha, Bhagwan Shanthinatha, Bhagwan Ananthanatha and Bhagwan
Neminatha in Kayotsarga posture facing four different directions.
Although the Kere Basadi is 850 years old, this temple looks renovated,
possessing a modern look due to the large marble tiles that surround the
outer wall, along with the tile roofing. However, if you look closely
at the temple towards its eaves, the frieze projections look old. Also,
the pitched roofing above the central section, with a kalasha on its
top, rises above the modern-tiled pitched roofing that surrounds it
The winter months are the best time to visit Varanga, owing to the pleasant weather. October-February is therefore when you must visit these temples.
