Ranakpur temple

I have heard lots about this pilgrimage site but never was fortunate to go there. I recall the history my mother had told me once since she has a lot of knowledge about this place. I would like to share this with you...


Ranakpur is named after Rana Kumbha whom Dharna Sah, a Jain businessman, approached when he had the vision of his great temple to ask for the land for its construction. It is one of the five holiest places of the Jain community and exceptional in beauty and is renowned for some marvelously carved Jain temples in amber stone.

I hope I am right with the information! Please do let me know if you have more knowledge or experience about this place.

Ranakpur is tucked away in a remote valley in the Aravali range. It is situated around 60 km north of Udaipur in Pali district and boasts of one of the largest and most important Jain Temples in the country. The place is well connected through a road network to other places in the region.

I thought it might help people pay a visit to this beautiful temple.
Please do let me know when you go there?

You are absolutely right with the information,

The Ranakpur Jain Temple was built during the reign of the liberal and gifted Rajput monarch Rana Kumbha in the 15th century.

The artistically carved nymphs playing the flute in various dance postures at a height of 45 feet are an interesting sight

The three other Jain temples in the same complex, including a temple of the Sun God, are all well worth a visit. One kilometer away from the temple complex is the temple of Amba Mata.

When we go there Its nice that we can give a visit to all the place.

I hope someone might have visited too..
