Alwar Bikaner Jaipur Jaisalmer Jodhpur Mount Abu Pushkar Udaipur.
Once the tranquil retreat of meditating rishis, legend has it that it is
home to 330 million gods and goddesses. For Rajputs this is the scene of
the great Agni Kunda or sacred fire pit, from which 36 warrior clans emerged.
By the 11th century, Mount Abu had become an important Jain center of pilgrimage.
Over the next two centuries, many spectacular marble temples were built
here. In the 15th century these hills were conquered by Rana Kumbha of Mewar,
who built a fortress here. In the early 19th century, Mount Abu was developed
as a summer capital by the British.
What to see:
Dilwara Temples: At a very short distance of 5 km lie these wonderfully
carved Jain temples dating back to the 11th and 13th centuries A.D. Rated
as among the finest of Indian temples, it is recommended that any visitor
to Rajasthan include them on his itinerary. The marble architecture here
is comparable with the best.
Vimala - Vasahi Temple
:
This is the oldest temple in the complex, built in 1030 A.D. by Vimala Shah,
a minister in the Government of Gujarat, to atone for his earthly sins.
He dedicated it to Adinath, the first of the Jain tirthankaras, and the
central shrine has an image of Adinath. The massive work involved in the
temple took fourteen years to complete. The temple has been designed in
an austere fashion on the outside but the ornateness strikes you immediately
as you enter through the gateway.
Neminath Temple:
This was built in 1230 A.D. by two brothers, Vastupal and Tejpal, who dedicated
it to Neminath, the 22nd tirthankara.
