Jinadatta, a royal prince of Mathura in the Solar dynasty, fled home after his father, Sahakara, attempted to murder him. Sahakara, under the influence of his second son Mardatta, had sought to ensure that the latter would be the successor to the throne. Jindatta fled to South India, and, heeding the counsel of Jain monk Muni Siddhanta, carried a golden idol of Padmavati on his back to protect him on his journey.Шаблон:Sfn On the way, while resting under a kari lakki tree, Jindatta had a dream in which Padmavati told him to establish his capital at that place, with the help of people living in the forest.Шаблон:Sfn Jinadatta proceeded to found the city of Pombuccapura (modern-day Humcha)Шаблон:Sfn and built two temples dedicated to Parshvanatha.

The noteworthy architecture of the Humcha BasadiШаблон:Sfn comprises temples classified as either early phase or later phase, based on the architectural style of each. The early phase temples include a square Vimana with a small antarala and a closed mahamandapa, which is broader than the garbhagriha, and include pillars with ornate carvings. The later phase temples are constructed in a rectangular shape, crowned with Brahmachanda Sikhara in an incorporated built-in Dravidian style. The Makara torana is an important feature of the architectural style of the Santara period.Шаблон:Sfn

Panchkuta Basadi, originally known as Urdhvitilaka (glory of the world) according to inscriptions, is the largest temple in Humcha. The temple was built in the Chalukyan style in 1077 CE by Chattaladevi, the wife of Kaduvetti, a Kadava (Pallava dynasty) chief.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Panchkuta Basadi derives its name from five garbhagriha inside the temple.Шаблон:Sfn These five share a common plinth arranged in a row to form a navaranga, mahamandapa, and mukhamandapa in common. In front of the temple are two small shrines dedicated to Parshvanatha and Bahubali.Шаблон:Sfn Only three idols – of Neminatha, Shantinatha, and Parshvanatha – remain of the original five in the garbhagriha of Panchkuta Basadi. The navaranga of the temple consists of ten ankanaswith and three doors, and it houses images of yaksha and yakshi Jwalamalini.Шаблон:Sfn

Before Panchkuta Basadi is a tall, ornate pillar called a manastambha;Шаблон:Sfn this one is known for its architectural details and is considered the best example of Jain architectural style.Шаблон:Sfn The pillar stands on a three-tiered platform; the lowest tier displays carvings of four elephants at the four corners and another four elephants on the four faces, which are oriented to the cardinal directions; reliefs of lions appear between the elephants. A statue of Brahmadeva surmounts the pillar as the guardian yaksha.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Pâḷiyakka Basadi is ruined temple constructed in 878 CE (Shaka year 800) according to an inscription dated 950 CE. Guḍḍada Basadi, dedicated to Bahubali, was constructed in 898 CE during the reign of Vikramaditya VI.
