The largest Jain temple in India covering an area
nearly 4500 square yards. It lies on the curve of
a boulder strewn river deep in the forested Aravalli
hills. Also this is one of the most beautiful Jain
temple. It was build in 15th century. The detailed
and intricate carving on marble makes lace work
rather than stone carving.
This is a temple of architectural genius.The most
remarkable thing of the temple is the wonderful
play of Shadow and light on the nearly 1,500 pillars.
Believe it or not each of the pillar is different
from the other in design. As the sun rays shift
through the day the pillars color change from gold
to pale blue.
