Bhandasar Jain Temple

Bhandasar, one of Bikaner's two major Jain temples, is regarded as one of the greatest sites to visit in the city. Yellow stone sculptures and colourful artwork adorn the walls. The temple's interior is magnificent, with murals on the walls and pillars. Floral arabesques and portraits of the 24 Jain masters adorn the walls.

It is reported that instead of water, 40000 KG of ghee was used to make the mortar. The miniatures of gods' sentinels are kept on the first level of the three-story temple. Visitors may receive a panoramic view of the city from the top level, which spans to the west.

The temple was commissioned by a Jain trader named Bhandasa Oswal and is dedicated to the fifth Tirthankar, Sumtinath. The temple, which was built in the 16th century, has several historical attitudes and attributions shown in its structure.
