Koṇṇūr is an archaeologically important site situated in Gokak-taluk (Belgaum district, Bombay), known for inscriptions regarding the ancient history of India. For example, at Koṇṇūr there is a Kannaḍa inscription on a slab at the Jain temple. It registers a gift of land, houses, etc., made by Mahāprabhu Nidhiyama-gāvuṇḍa for the benefit of the Jaina temple constructed by him at Koṇḍanūr. The donor belonged to Balātkāra-gaṇa of Mūla-saṃgha and the genealogical account of his preceptors is narrated at length. The Chālukya prince Jayakarṇa and the Raṭṭa chief Sena are also eulogised.

This inscription belongs to king Tribhuvanamalla (Vikramāditya VI) of the Kalyāṇa Chālukya dynasty and is dated 1087 A.D., December 25.
