About Jain Temple
The most beautiful temple in Sanganer is the ancient Shri Digamber Jain
temple. The temple has fine carvings as those of the magnificent Delwara
temples of Mount Abu. Built in various phases with sky-high shikharas
(spires), the temple represents an old style of architecture. The last
phase was probably built in the 10th century. The beautiful nij-mandir
(inner temple) is a stone shrine with three pinnacles. In the centre is
an idol of Parshwanath with 7 serpent hoods. All around it, are carvings
of lotuses, creepers and elephants pouring water from pitchers held in
their trunks. But the main idol is that of Adinath, installed in the
shrine behind this.
