FAQs On Hutheesing Jain Temple
Ahmedabad (Amdavad), Gujarat, India
The Hutheesing Jain Temple is a remarkably elegant and serene Jain temple dedicated to the 15th Jain Tirthankara, Shri Dharmanatha. This magnificent temple was built in 1848 AD by a wealthy Jain merchant, Sheth Hutheesing Kesarisinh, at an estimated cost of 10 lakh rupees (a significant sum at the time), and consecrated by Acharya Shri Sobhagyasuri Maharaj. It stands as a testament to the philanthropic spirit and deep religious devotion of the Jain community in Ahmedabad. Constructed entirely out of pure white marble, the temple's architecture is a stunning example of intricate craftsmanship. The temple complex is surrounded by a sprawling courtyard, featuring 52 small shrines (called devakulikas), each housing an image of a Tirthankara. The main temple is a double-storied structure with a grand mandapa (hall) and a towering shikhara (spire). The pillars, domes, and walls are adorned with exquisitely carved sculptures, depicting scenes from Jain mythology, floral patterns, and intricate geometric designs. The artistry is so fine that it often appears as if the marble has been intricately woven. The temple's serene ambiance and the purity of its white marble create a calming and spiritual experience for visitors. It is an active place of worship for Jains, and daily rituals and prayers are conducted with great devotion. The temple's Kirti Stambh (Tower of Fame) in the courtyard is another significant feature, symbolizing the glory and heritage of Jainism. The Hutheesing Jain Temple is not only a significant pilgrimage site but also a masterpiece of Indian architecture, attracting art historians, students, and general tourists who marvel at its beauty and the dedication it represents. Its preservation over the centuries highlights its cultural importance to Ahmedabad.
