Caption Ceiling of Chandraprabhu Jain temple Jaisalmer Rajasthan.
Travel and tourism are complementary to each other. Best ways to get rid of mental pressure and stresses. Visit of religious sites also give us peace and then spiritually we enjoy. We got the opportunity to see one such temple which is interpreted for its interior and exterior furnishing, and its Architecture during the tour of Jaisalmer Fort. It was Chandraprabhu Swami Jain temple.
This Jain temple which is dedicated to the fourth Tirthankar Chandraprabhu is a magnificent heritage. The temple has very beautiful stone carvings and sculptures are adorable. The artist and stone engravers were masters of art. Dome ceiling is very attractive having hanging pendent and images of graceful beauties, Yakshinis, flowers, etc. The idols of the Tirthankaras are installed in a circular gallery under the dome on the first floor. From here the sight of the main sanctum looks extremely attractive. The stone pillars and archway on which extremely intricate carvings are done is amazing with Jainism religious and cultural motifs. This temple is a major center of attraction and entrance fees are charged here. Jaisalmer’s famous yellow or golden stone is used in its construction as the whole fort is built with these stones.
We spent about half an hour in this temple. Nearest attractions are Baa Ri Haveli, Saalim Singh’s Haveli etc are easily accessible. It’s a major attraction among all tourists.
