English: This photograph was taken by me (Dinesh Kannambadi) in the Shantinatha Basadi at Jinanathapura, Hassan district, Karnataka state, India. The Basadi was built around 1200 AD during the rule of the Hoysala Empire King Veera Ballala II. An old Kannada language inscription on the pedestal of the seated image of the Shantinatha reveals the Basadi was built by Recana, a general and minister of the king Ballala II.
