Hutheesing Jain Temple
હઠીસિંહના દેરા
A white marble Jain temple built in 1848 by a merchant family, surrounded by 52 small shrines with finely carved details.
The temple was funded by the merchant Hutheesing and completed by his widow. It is dedicated to Dharmanatha, the 15th Tirthankara. The main hall, built of white marble, has two levels, and 52 small shrines surround it in a corridor arrangement. The columns and ceilings are carved with musicians, dancers and flowers, and beside the temple stands a replica of the Victory Tower. Admission is free. Shoes must be removed, leather items cannot be brought in, and in keeping with Jain custom, women who are menstruating should not enter the hall. The temple lies outside Delhi Gate in the old city, about 2 km from Sayyed Mosque.
