Hotels Near Seth Bhandasar Jain Temple

Bikaner, Rajasthan, India
The Seth Bhandasar Jain Temple is a truly remarkable and historically significant place of worship in Bikaner, dedicated to Sumatinath Ji, the Fifth Jain Tirthankara. Its construction was started in 1468 by a wealthy Jain merchant named Bhanda Shah and was completed by his daughter in 1541. The temp le is renowned globally for one incredible legend: it is said that the foundation was laid using a massive quantity of pure clarified butter, or ghee (approximately 40,000 kilograms), instead of water and mortar. This unique history gives the temple its lasting fame, and it is a common belief that the ghee sometimes seeps through the walls on a hot day, although this is more a testament to the legend than a guaranteed sighting. The temple is a stunning three-storied structure built primarily of red sandstone and white marble, representing a high point of Jain and Rajput architectural craftsmanship of the 15th century. The interiors are a visual feast, adorned with beautiful frescoes, intricate mirror work, and exquisite gold leaf paintings that depict stories from the lives of the 24 Tirthankaras and other Jain mythologies. It's a peaceful sanctuary that attracts both devout pilgrims and art history enthusiasts. The temple's location within the historic, walled area of Old Bikaner provides a glimpse into the city's ancient character and rich trading past. The Archaeological Survey of India protects this monument, preserving its unique heritage for generations. ###
