'''Mandaragiri''' or '''Basadi-betta''' is a [[Jain]] [[Tirtha (Jainism)|pilgrimage]] located on Mandaragiri Hill in [[Tumkur district]] in the [[Indian state]] of [[Karnataka]].<br />
<br />
== About temple ==<br />
The Mandaragiri temple complex is an important Jain pilgrimage centre named after [[Mallinatha]].{{sfn|Charya|2019|p=120}} The hilltop has four twelfth-century temples{{sfn|Binayak|2020}} and one stupa enclosed in a massive stone wall with paintings of [[Tirthankara]]s. The back wall, the original entrance of the temple, features an entrance gate with two pillars bearing carvings of elephants and an image of Tirthankara seated on a lotus pedestal. The first temple doesn't enshrine any idols and the remaining three temples are dedicated to [[Chandraprabha]], [[Parshvanatha]] and [[Suparshvanatha]]. The stupa houses one stone slab with a carving of a footprint. The temple complex also includes a large [[manastambha]].{{sfn|Malhotra|2022}}<br />
<br />
On the foot of the hill, an {{convert|81|ft}} temple called ''Guru mandir'' dedicated to Jain [[Acharya (Jainism)|Acharya]] [[Shantisagar]] is located. This temple is popularly known as pinchi temple and peacock temple due to the temple structure resembling a ''pinchi'', peacock feather fan, used by [[Digambara]] monks.{{sfn|McDonnell|2021}} A {{convert|21|ft}} monolithic statue of [[Chandraprabha]] is located near Guru mandir.{{sfn|Krishnaraja|2021}}{{sfn|Binayak|2020}}<br />
<br />
''Maidala Kere'' and ''Padmavati Kere'' are the two lakes located near the temple complex on the hilltop. There is a ruined temple housing a large stone-carved image of a Tirthankara near Maidala lake. There are eight idols of goddesses scattered near the Padmavati Kere.{{sfn|Malhotra|2022}}<br />
