Panamaram Jain temples: A photo blog

 Panamaram is a non descript village in Wayanad district of Kerala. Its claim to fame are a set of ancient Jain temples. I visited both these temples in Dec-20. Both the Jain temples are located close to each other. beside coffee plantations I don't think the temples have a separate name or identity. Sadly, both the temples are in dilapidated condition. Apart from a board by the Archaeological Survey of India mentioning these are heritage monuments, nothing is mentioned about the history of these monuments.

Scaffoldings all over the temple.

Both the temples are located quite close to each other. I asked a few locals for the directions to the second temple. One of the persons I spoke to identified himself as  Jain. Below are pictures from the second temple.
