There are a number of Jain temples at Siddhavarkuta, the oldest temple has images dating back to 1488 A.D. A Jain temple is a place of worship for the followers of Jainism, an Indian religion that believes in non-violence towards all living beings. It is one of the oldest religions with roots in ancient India. Jainism is a religious minority in India, with 4.2 million followers.	eng
