The Palitana temples of Jainism are located on Shatrunjaya by the city of Palitana in Bhavnagar district, Gujarat, India. The city of the same name, known previously as Padliptapur, has been nicknamed "City of Temples". Along with Shikharji in the state of Jharkhand, the two sites are considered the holiest of all pilgrimage places by the Jain community. As the temple-city was built to be an abode for the divine, no one is allowed to stay overnight, including the priests.

Jaisalmer Fort Jain temples is a group of seven Jain temples inside Jaisalmer Fort in state of Rajasthan. The Jaisalmer Fort is UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of Hill Forts of Rajasthan and is famous for its ancient Jain temples.[1] The temples are well known for their intricate carvings and attract many tourists and religious devotees. —- WikiPedia
Intricate carving on the many many pillors of the temple. Not an inch of area of the entire temple complex is without an inch deep carving. The temple itself is several centuries old but is contantly maintained and hence in very good condition. It is about 100 km from jodhpur Rajasthan. I had to take special permission for photography.
Tourist surrounding the centrepiece of a marble elephant statue inside the Ranakpur Jain temple. The unique temple is a timeless piece of art and a human architectural achievement. Built and carved entirely from white marbles, each piece of its building blocks from the 1,444 pillars right to the top ceilings, are all carved with great & interesting details. indeed an unique and worth-while visit for me. The shape of columns will present different looks of shades at different time of the day.
