Wooden gilt model in Nasiyan Jain TempleNasiyan (red) Temple
Nasiyan Jain Temple, also known as Soniji ki Nasiyan, is a beautiful red coloured Jain shrine located on Prithvi Raj Road. It was built by Seth Shri Mulchand Soni in the 19th century and is devoted to Rishabhdeoji, the first Jain Tirthankar and is highly revered by the Digambar sect of Jains. The real surprise comes in its double storeyed hall where there are splendid and unusual wooden gilt models depicting scenes from the Jain mythology with 13 continents and oceans, the golden city of Ajodhya and flying-swan and flying elephant gondolas. It's just like it's straight out of a Walt Disney wonderland and has to be seen to be believed.
Open: 8.30am-5.30pm. Admission: Rs5 plus Rs20 camera.
