Location-Delwara village. Nearest station - Mount Abu(3 Km). State - Rajasthan. Best time to visit - September to March.

Delwara Temples, the celebrated and world famous Jain temples, are situated at Delwara village about 2½ Km's from the beautiful city of Mt. Abu. The temples are carved in marble, the design and accuracy of workmanship is unbelievable. The temple dates back to 11th and 12th century A.D. Delwara temples are a composite cluster of 5 temples.

DELWARA TEMPLES CONSTITUTE OF 5 TEMPLES

Vimal Vasahi (Shri Adinathji temple) Luna Vasahi (Shri Neminathji temple) Pithalhar (Shri Rishabh Deoji temple) Khartar Vasahi (Shri Parshavnathji temple) Mahaveer Swami (Shri Mahaveer Swamiji temple)

All these shrines belong to different centuries. The first two are build wholly of white marble, they have got exuberant carvings and ornamentation work on the walls, doors, pillars, mandaps, torans, ceilings etc.. The designs depict life stories of Jain Tirthankars, scenes of Gods & Goddesses and great men from Jain and Hindu Mythologies. Their are many works that depict royal courts, marriage processions, dance figures and many other functinons. No design is repeated, this in itself is a proof of human ingenuity and creativity.

Nothing can describe the real beauty of the temples, one must see it to belive it.
