Jain Temples of Chandi Bazaar
શાંતિનાથ અને આદિનાથ દેરાસર
A group of Jain temples in the old town around Chandi Bazaar, dazzling with mirror mosaics, painted domes and marble carvings.
Several Jain temples dating from the 16th and 17th centuries cluster around Chandi Bazaar, the best known being the Chintamani Parshvanath Temple and the Adinath Temple. Ceilings and pillars inside are covered in painting, gold leaf and mirror mosaic, while the floors are coloured marble inlay. They are considered among the finest Jain decorative works in Gujarat. Entry is free, but you must remove your shoes and cannot bring leather items inside. Some halls do not allow photography. The old town lanes around the temples are also a great place to shop for Bandhani fabric and silverwork.
