'''Venur''' or '''Venoor''' is a small village on the banks of the Phalguni river in [[Belthangady Taluk]], [[Dakshina Kannada]] of [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. It was once the seat of [[Jainism]] and the capital of the [[Ajila]] Dynasty.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jainteerth.com/teerth/venur.asp |title=Venur, Karnataka |access-date=2007-01-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061210053726/http://www.jainteerth.com/teerth/venur.asp |archive-date=10 December 2006 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> It is on the [[Dharmasthala]]-[[Moodabidri]]-[[Karkala]] route on the coastal religious circuit in the [[Karnataka]] State of [[India]].

==Ajila Dynasty==
Venur is a small town in Dakshina Kannada District of Karnataka state situated on the bank of river Phalguni. Venur, though a small town, was once a great seat of Jainism. It was the capital of the [[Ajila]] Dynasty and one of the most prominent Kings of then Thimmanna Ajila built a colossus of [[Gommateshwara]] 38 feet high in 1604 AD. He was a direct descendant of [[Chamundaraya]], who built one at [[Shravanabelagola]]. Venur colossus is the shortest of all the three Gommateshwaras within the radius of {{convert|250|km||}} around it. It also stands in an enclosure, on the same pattern as that of Shravanabelagola.
The Kings of [[Ajila]] Dynasty ruled here from 1154 AD to 1786 AD. The current descendant of the Ajila Dynasty is Thimmnnarasa Dr. Padmaprasad Ajila.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.venur.in/?page_id=129 |title=Mahamastakabhisheka 2012 Committee |access-date=2012-01-26 |archive-url=https://archive.is/20120918075406/http://www.venur.in/?page_id=129 |archive-date=18 September 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
