Jain Temple
The Jain Temple is devoted to Sri Kodi Brahmadeva. The main feature of the temple is that the idol of Brahmadeva sitting on a horse is said to have formed by itself. It is a very unique of its kind in the state. Apart from the statue of Brahmadeva, the temple also houses the white colored padmasana idol of Bhagvan Sheetalanatha. This idol of Sheetalanatha Bhagawan was installed recently arround 1990 when the renovation work of the temple was taken up. The visitors have to take the key of the temple from the house of the priest at Gowribidanur.
