c42.s1.6
At Bhatkal there are over a dozen old temples of sorts, among them being one in the Dravidian style. There are also two mosques, not very old, a number of Kanarese inscribed slabs, and three old European tombs dating back to 1637 and 1638. The principal temples are the two mentioned above and the large Jaina *basti* known as Jattapa Nāyakana Chandranāthēśvara Basti. The former are in use and are in a fair state of repair save the colonnade round the inner courtyard of the first, which has mostly fallen; the last has been forsaken and is partly ruined.
