Photos Of Bhandasar Jain Temple
Bikaner, Rajasthan, India
The Bhandasar Jain Temple, also known as the Bhanda Shah Jain Temple, is one of the oldest and most exquisite Jain temples in Bikaner. It is dedicated to Lord Sumatinath, the fifth Jain Tirthankara (great teacher). The temple's construction was commissioned in the 15th century (around 1468 AD) by a wealthy Jain merchant named Bhandasa Oswal and was completed by his family later. The temple is famous globally for its unique foundational legend: it is said that the foundation was laid using 40,000 kilograms of pure Ghee (clarified butter) and dried coconuts instead of water, a fact that is said to still be discernible on hot days when the walls secrete an oily substance. This legend signifies the immense wealth and dedication of the merchant Bhandasa and the sacredness of the construction. The three-story structure is a masterpiece of Rajputana and indigenous architecture. The central deity, a white marble idol of Lord Sumatinath, is enshrined in the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). The temple's interiors are a visual spectacle, famed for their elaborate frescoes, intricate gold leaf paintings, and stunning mirror work. The upper floors offer a panoramic view of the Bikaner city skyline. The walls and ceilings are adorned with vibrant artwork depicting scenes from Jain mythology, including the lives of the 24 Tirthankaras. The temple continues to be a vibrant center of Jain spiritual practice, attracting not only devotees but also tourists and art historians keen to study its unique history and architecture. It is a National Protected Monument, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
