ये दही-हांडी नहीं बल्कि धम्म चक्र उत्सव होता था जहाँ ऊपर बंधे धम्म चक्र को छूने के लिए ह्यूमन पिरामिड बनते थे।

Muslims & Christians call it Adam's first step on Earth after paradise. Hindus attribute it to Shiva or Hanuman. "Adam" may derive from "Adimuni Buddha" (primordial Buddha). This syncretic site has been a pilgrimage spot since ~300 BCE.

Buddha as "Adam" or "Hercules"?
Did you know that ancient cultures referred to Buddha as "Adam" or "Hercules"? Historical and archaeological evidence shows Buddha's footprints venerated worldwide under different names. Let's dive in! #Buddha#History#Archaeology

Kadari Vihar’s story should inspire historians, archaeologists, and governments to document such sites with honesty — giving credit where it’s due — so future generations know that Buddhism was once the spiritual backbone of peninsular India.
9/
For Buddhists worldwide, this is not merely archaeology — it is a call to recognize, preserve, and restore these sites as shared heritage of humankind, representing Buddha’s message that once flourished here.
8/
The Kadari case is not about “religious rivalry” alone — it’s about the slow historical process where Buddhist heritage was rebranded, sometimes preserved, but often erased from collective memory.
7/
Here, Manjushri was gradually reinterpreted as a form of Shiva-Manjunath, with structural modifications and addition of Hindu iconography, but the original Buddhist sculpture still survives, wearing garlands in a temple today.
6/
The transformation from a Buddhist Vihar to a Shaiva–Vaishnava temple likely occurred between the 11th–14th centuries.Such transitions happened in India after political changes,destruction of Buddhist institutions, and absorption of Bodhisattva deities into Hindu pantheons.
5/
The Kadarika Vihar was a part of a Buddhist network that included Nagara Basadi (Barkur), Dharmavalli Vihar (Goa), and other west-coast monasteries. These were centres of Buddhist learning, art, and tantric practice.
Kadari’s Buddhist identity was not isolated. The west coast of India, especially Karnataka & Kerala, saw the spread of Vajrayana Buddhism through maritime trade with Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Java, and China.
Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang (7th c.) records Buddhist centres in this region.
3/
The iconography leaves no doubt — the four-armed seated image with a serene face, a sword of wisdom, and the book of Prajñāpāramitā — clear attributes of Mañjuśrī, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism.
2/
Archaeological & epigraphic evidence comes from a 10th-century stone inscription found at the site.
It records that King Kundavarma of the Alupa dynasty installed an image of Bodhisattva Manjushri in Kadarika Vihar in 968 CE.
🧵 THREAD: The Forgotten Buddhist Heritage of Kadari Vihar (Mangalore-Karnataka)Truth Buried in Stone stands a temple as Kadri Manjunath.But this was Kadarika Vihar a thriving. Buddhist monastery captured by Uresians tells a deeper story of India’s religious history.
6/ The Global Echo
Buddhist imagery from 5th-century Sweden, Central Asia, and Japan matches Indian finds — a truly global Dharma network.
Meanwhile, “Vedic” idols appear much later in history.
