Dilwara Temples
देलवाड़ा जैन मंदिर
A complex of 11th- to 13th-century Jain temples whose white marble carvings are as delicate as lace, widely regarded as among the finest marble buildings in India.
The complex comprises five Jain temples. The most famous are the Vimal Vasahi, completed in 1031, and the Luna Vasahi, built in 1230. Their domes, colonnades and ceilings are covered in intricate marble relief. The exteriors are plain, but the interiors are stunning. Non-Jain visitors are generally admitted from 12:00 to 18:00. Entry is free, and guided tours are available. Photography is strictly prohibited inside the temples. Phones and cameras must be checked in, visitors must wear knee-covering clothing and remove their shoes, and leather items are not allowed inside. The temples are about 2.5 km from Nakki Lake and can be reached by tuk-tuk.
