Siddhanta Basadi stands behind Akkana Basadi at the eastern foot of Chandragiri. It received its name because works on Jain doctrine were stored here. Acharya Shubhachandra took the ancient palm-leaf manuscripts of the Dhavala, Jayadhavala, and Mahadhavala commentaries on the Shatkhandagama from here to Moodabidri for safekeeping. The Basadi contains twenty-four stone Tirthankara images, with an approximately two-foot image of Parshvanatha at the centre. Inscription 417 (332) records that a pilgrim from North India installed them around AD 1620.
