Sanganer: Sanganer
is located 16 Kms from Jaipur. It is also known for
exquisite Jain temples. Moreover, it is an important
centre for crafts and hand-printed textiles that is
internationally famous.
The most beautiful temple
in Sanganer is the ancient Shri Digamber Jain
temple. The temple has fine carvings as those of the
magnificent Dilwara temples of Mount Abu. Built in
various phases with sky-high shikharas (spires), the
temple represents an old style of architecture. The last
phase was probably built in the 10th century. The
beautiful nij-mandir (inner temple) is a stone
shrine with three pinnacles. In the centre is an idol of
Parshwanath with 7 serpent hoods. All around it,
are carvings of lotuses, creepers and elephants pouring
water from pitchers held in their trunks. But the main
idol is that of Adinath, installed in the shrine behind
this.
