FAQs On Kanch Mandir

Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India
The Kanch Mandir, literally the 'Temple of Glass', is a breathtakingly beautiful Jain temple and one of Indore's most exquisite architectural gems. It was built by the prominent Digambar Jain merchant and industrialist, Sir Seth Hukumchand Jain, starting around 1903. Externally, the temple is built in a traditional medieval mansion style with a canopied balcony and a high spire (shikhara), but its interior is where the magic lies. The entire interior—including the walls, floor, pillars, and ceiling—is fully covered with intricate mirror mosaics and multi-colored glass panels. These panels depict scenes from Jain scriptures, portraits of the Tirthankaras (spiritual teachers), and detailed geometric and floral patterns. The design is such that the main idol's image is reflected infinitely in the surrounding mirrors, symbolizing the infinite nature of the soul and the omniscience of the Tirthankaras. The temple is an active place of worship and a central institution for the local Jain community, serving as a mesmerizing blend of devotion, art, and exceptional craftsmanship. The delicate work was done by skilled artisans from Jaipur and even some from Iran.
