Well
maintained
Temple.The
Jain
Temple
in
Sulthan
Bathery(known
as
Sultan's
battery
house)is
one
of
the
most
important
among
the
many
Jain
temples
in
Kerala.
Dating
back
to
the
13th
century,
the
temple
is
said
to
have
been
built
in
the
prevalent
architectural
style
of
the
then
reigning
Vijayanagar
dynasty.
The
town
of
Sulthan
Bathery
was
earlier
known
as
Ganapathi
Vattam
and
had
12
traditional
Jain
streets
in
and
around
the
town.
After
Tipu's
attack,
the
temple
was
destroyed
about
150
years
and
made
this
as
his
armoury
storage.
Later
the
Archaeological
Survey
of
India
took
over
the
maintenance
and
declared
it
a
monument
of
national
importance.
The
courtyard
is
well
laid
with
lawns
and
ornamental
plants
now.
