Sri
Hayakeerthi in place of Lingothbavar
SRI
1008 BHAGWAN MAHAVIR JAIN TEMPLE, SAIDAPET WEST.
This is one of the Jain temples installed in a house. Sri Padmavathi Amma is on the
Ground floor and Sri Adinath Sri Mahavir and Sri Bahubali are on the first
floor. The temple was constructed with the contributions of the Jain community.
It was interesting to note in one of the inscriptions it was mentioned as Sramanapuram ( ஸ்ரமணபுரம்) for Saidapet. It is said that many Jain monks and SamaNars /தமிழ் சமணர்/ lived in this area, during Jainism was at its peak. Jain monks in the north Indian language are called as “SramaNar – ஸ்ரமணர்” and in Tamil, they are called as சமணத் துறவிகள். Since Jain monks also lived here (maybe running a School ), the place might have obtained the name of Sramanapuram.
