The Sultan Battery Jain temple, also called the Kitanganad Jain temple, is a 13th to 14th century CE granite temple in Wayanad district, Kerala. It is a notable and rare example of a Jain temple in Kerala, reflecting an ancient Jaina basadi.
The Jain temple was captured and used by Tipu Sultan to store weapons and ammunitions as he attempted to expand a Muslim Sultanate into northern Kerala. The name of the town used to be Ganapathi Vattam after the ancient Ganesha temple near the Jain temple, but the town name was changed by the British to Sultan Battery because it was used to store war equipment by the Sultan for his wars. The temple itself is now regionally called as Sultan Bathery Jain temple. The Jain icons and statues typically found inside the temple were thrown out to create ammunition storage space.
The temple was built from granite, has two mandapas and garbhagriya. It has Jain carvings on pillars, similar to regional Vijayanagara Empire era temples. The temple has a nearby well, from which some Jain idols have been recovered and moved into a museum.
This site should not be confused with Sultan Bathery in Boloor or temples therein.
