Sri Jain Shwetamber Nakoda Ji Teerth in Rajasthan

The Sri Jain Shwetamber Nakoda Ji Teerth in Rajasthan is one of the holiest places for the Jain sect.

I visited here in March of 2021 and the first structure is this moderately-sized welcome arch for the temple complex.

The main temple is not large but its religious and spiritual significance is highest among all other temples in the Nakoda Temple Complex.

The temple entrance looks beautiful from far away.

And getting closer I could see the detailed carvings in marble on the walls and the two majestic elephants.

Inside the temple campus are two more standing life-sized statues of 2 elephants welcoming the devotees.

The staircase is also richly decorated in patterns of the Rajasthani style.

The Dhyan Dharana place is not very spacious but the day was not crowded when I visited.

The ceiling of the dome above is richly decorated with patterns and idols of dancing figures.

Here is another entrance of the temple complex in Nakoda, that is entirely made in marble and richly painted.

Another fascinating entrance in white marble with rich colors is this one in the Nakoda Jain Temple.

Outside the temple is a large accessible parking and also the main entrance is accessible.

The stairs leading to the main temple also have a railing though not reachable using a wheelchair.

Here’s a snapshot:

I notice that all temples in India you posted seem newly built @TusharSuradkar Are they really new or because of the good conservation that they still look new? The reason I asked, India is known as the Hindu country, meaning structures must have been built long time ago…

Thank you, dear @MAHBUB_HYDER for taking notice and appreciation :handshake:

Good observation @Sophia_Cambodia

You are absolutely correct :+1:

These are all brand new temples though the style is centuries old hence they also look similar to the very old temples.
