जैन टेम्पल्स इन इण्डिया
The Jain art developed in South India upto the time of the kingdom of Vijayanagar. The temple style of Vijayanagar spread throughout South India.
One significant feature of Jain shrines is the building up of templecities. Examples of such cities can be seen at Abu, Girnar, Satrunjaya and several other places. Sometimes the number of Jain edifices at one site runs into several hundreds. The sites of hillocks provide a good location for such temple cities. These have grown into great tirthas, being visited by a large number of devotees.
