598. Hampi (16) Lamp Post, Jain Temple
This temple was devoted to Kunthunatha, 17th Theerthankara of Jain faith. This was built by Irugaraya, Commander-in-Chief of Harihara II in 1386 AD. The lamp post is a single granite stone standing more than 40ft tall. Inscriptions on the pillar throw a great deal of light on the early years of Vijaya Nagara Empire. The temple (now dilapidated) has its architecture strongly related to the late Chalukya period
