A remarkable 11th-century Jain Basadi (temple) was uncovered during foundation work for a rural irrigation project in the Nirmal district of Telangana. The site yielded three white marble idols of Tirthankaras—Parshvanatha, Adinatha, and Mahavira—seated in meditative postures. The use of white marble is particularly rare for this region and suggests a high level of patronage and cross-regional trade during the Late Chalukya period.
The temple's pillars are decorated with detailed carvings of musicians, dancers, and geometric patterns. Archaeologists have also identified a small Manastambha (honorary pillar) near the entrance, which is characteristic of Digambara Jain architecture. The Telangana State Archaeology Department has halted construction in the area to transform the site into a protected heritage zone.
