A Very Old Place

Our temple is more than 1,000 years old. It was built by kings and queens who loved God very much. They wanted a place where everyone could feel happy and calm.

The most special thing in the temple is the black statue of Lord Rishabhdeo. It is made from one big piece of dark stone.

A Place for Everyone

This temple is not just for one group of people. Jains, Hindus, and people from nearby villages all come here to pray. We are like one big family.
