Famous Jain Temples in India

India is home to the world’s most sacred and architecturally astonishing Jain temples (Tirthas), dedicated to the 24 venerated Tirthankaras of the Svetambara and Digambara traditions. From the holy summit of Shikharji (Parasnath Hill)—where twenty Tirthankaras attained Moksha—to the world-famous Maru-Gurjara white marble masterpieces of Ranakpur and Dilwara, these sacred complexes embody profound principles of non-violence (Ahimsa), austerity, and spiritual liberation.
