Chandkheri Adinath Jain Temple
Chandkheri Adinath Jain Temple is a highly revered pilgrimage site for the Digambar Jain community. Built in the 17th century, specifically between V.S. 1730 and 1746, it was commissioned by Kishandas Mariya. The temple is dedicated to Lord Adinath, the first Tirthankara, whose idol is famously sit uated in an underground chamber. This 6-foot tall idol is carved from rare red stone and is believed to possess miraculous powers. The temple complex is vast and well-maintained, offering excellent facilities for pilgrims including a large bhojanalaya (dining hall). Legend says that an idol of Lord Chandraprabhu is hidden behind the main deity's wall, waiting to be revealed. The atmosphere inside is deeply spiritual, filled with the chanting of mantras and the scent of incense. It is considered one of the most important Atishay Kshetras (place of miracles) in Rajasthan. The temple serves as a center for religious learning and meditation for thousands of devotees who visit annually. The surrounding village of Chandkheri has grown around this sacred site, reflecting its cultural importance.
