Religion in Western Ganga kingdom
(詳細はKarnataka. They are known as Western Gangas to distinguish them from the Eastern Gangas who in later centuries ruled over modern Orissa. The Western Gangas ruled as a sovereign power from the middle of fourth century to middle of sixth century, initially from Kolar, later moving their capital to Talakad on the banks of the Kaveri River in modern Mysore district. Though territorially a small kingdom, the Western Ganga contribution to polity, culture and literature of the modern south Karnataka region is considered noteworthy. The Ganga kings showed benevolent tolerance to all faiths but are most famous for their patronage towards Jainism resulting in the construction of fine monuments in such places as Shravanabelagola and Kambadahalli.
==Religion==
The Western Gangas gave patronage to all the major religious faiths of the time; Jainism and the Hindu sects Shaivism, Vedic Brahminism and Vaishnavism. However scholars have argued that not all Gangas kings may have given equal priority to all the faiths. Some historians believe the Gangas were ardent Jains,〔Dr. Lewis Rice, S. R. Sharma and M. V. Krishna Rao 〕 though inscriptional evidence is not conclusive since they mention ''kalamukhas'' (staunch Shaiva ascetics), ''pasupatas'' and ''lokayatas'' (followers of ''Pasupatha'' doctrine) who flourished in Gangavadi, indicating Shaivism was also popular. King Madhava and Harivarman were devoted of cows and Brahmins and King Vishnugopa was a devout Vaishnava.〔Srikantha Shastri in Kamath (2001), p49〕 Madhava III's and Avinita's inscriptions describe lavish endowments to Jain orders and temples.〔Adiga (2006), p249〕 There is also inscriptional evidence King Durvinita performed Vedic sacrifices prompting historians to claim he was a Hindu and was either a Vaishnavite or a Shaivite.〔Srikanta Sastri in 〕 However, Western Ganga records from the 8th century reveal a strong Jain influence evidenced by the many ''basadis'' they built and due to popularity of saints such as Pushpdanta, Pujyapada, Vajranandi, Srivaradhadeva, Ajitasena.〔Kamath (2001), p49〕
