Mahavira

This polished, granite image of Mahavira is at the centre of the temple courtyard. Kolanupaka is an ancient Jain centre, being associated with the first tirthankara, Adinatha. The principal Jain shrine in the village has recently been renovated in a nagara style by artisans from Rajasthan and Gujarat.
