  • Chennanna Basti: To the west of Tyagada Kamba is a pond (12m X 12m), a open hall of 24 pillars, a basti with a Manasthambha, and another pond. The Chennanna Basti is built against a boulder, with an open Mantapa. The image is relieved on the boulder that form the southern wall of the sanctum. The sanctum is adorned with small Shikhara. The sanctum has the image of Chandraprabha, VIIIth Tirthankara. The Manasthambha 30 feet high is of good workmanship. The Basti and the pillared hall were constructed by Chennanna, son of Puttaswamy Setti in 1667 AD.
