Raybag

Raybag, once known as Huvinabage, was a Jain centre in the country of the Ratta rulers. Its temples and inscriptions record gifts made to different monastic communities. A grant of 1139 commemorates donations by the officer Dasimarasa and his wife Lakkadevi to a shrine built by a merchant, Marasinga. Another inscription issued under the Ratta king Kartavirya IV records earlier land gifts to Jain establishments. The Adinatha temple and other shrines preserve the memory of this religious life.
