60 km from Udaipur,
and in a remote and peaceful valley of the Aravalli range stands
one of the biggest and most important Jain temples in India- the
Ranakpur complex. It is extremely beautiful. The main temple is
the Chaumukha Temple, of 4 faced temple, dedicated to Adinath. It
was built in 1439, beautifully crafted. The marble temple has 29
halls supported by 1,444 pillars, no two of them alike.
Within the complex
are two other Jain temples to Neminath and Parasnath and, a little
distance away, a Sun Temple. One km from the main complex is the
Amba Mata temple. The temple is open from noon to 5 pm.
Ranakpur is 39
