		Talakad is the older and more historically important of the two sites.
		Over 30 temples at Talakad are submerged in the huge sand dunes, though the Kirtinarayana temple was excavated in the 20th century.

		In fact, Jainism found under the Gangas of Talakad an ever increasing period of grace and grandeur which has left behind a testimony of everlasting nature in the forms of literature, art and architecture.
		However, recent excavations at Talakad have proved the existence of a basadi of considerably an earlier date.
		It is not correct to say that Vishnuvardhana himself persecuted the Jains.(67) His famous queen Shantala and the victor of the Talakad battle Gangaraja were Jains.

		Hence, this basadi was reconstructed and also in the meantime enlarged, During the renovation, the contemporary architectural practice of providing a circumambulatory passage and an attached spacious Inavarangal was followed.
		Therefore in all probability the Talakad basadi must have been reconstructed during 9th-10th century A.D. The brick structures of the early period made way for the construction of basadis in a more permanent material like stone, which was the order of the day for the structures of the Brahmanical creed.
		Three cellas arranged in a row fronted by an oblong verandah forms the core of this basadi even though it is covered in front by later structures.
