Exploring the marvelous Jain Temples in Wayanad
Jainism has been around for centuries. It is one of the oldest religions that exists even today. Jainism, as per inscriptions dating back to 600CE, is said to have expanded when King Chandragupta Maurya inculcated Jainism through Bhadrabhahu- a Jain monk. Bhadrabhahu travelled to Karnataka with Chandragupta Maurya and his followers.
Thus Jainism caught on to other south indian regions gradually. The first evidence of Jainism in Kerala is said to have been from 8th or 9th century CE.
