Udupi to Karkala & Moodabidri Jain Temples Day Trip
Inland from Udupi are two remarkable Jain sites. Karkala has a 42-foot monolith of Gomateshwara, the Bahubali statue, carved in 1432 and standing on a bare rock hill with a view across the country. Moodabidri’s Saavira Kambada Basadi — the thousand-pillared temple — is a 15th-century structure with a pillar of black stone carved in every direction and a wooden mandapa with painted ceilings.
