JAIN TEMPLE, SULTHAN BATHERY
The sulthan bathery jain temple is believed to have been built in 13th century. A unique feature is the rather checkered history of the temple which first served as a shrine, next as a centre of commercial trade and finally,as the ammunition store of battery of tippusulthan’s army.
