The Ajmer Jain temple, also known as Soniji Ki Nasiyan, is an architecturally rich Jain temple. It was built in the late nineteenth century. The main chamber, known as the Swarna Nagari "City of Gold", has several gold-plated wooden figures, depicting several figures in the Jain religion. This golden chamber of the temple uses 1000 kg of gold to carve out a depiction of Ayodhya. "Ajmer's main attraction is - for the Jainas - the prominently situated Nasiayan Digambara Temple, or rather the two-storied Svarana Nagara Hall behind the temple, better known as the Museum. Both the temple and the museum were built and are still owned by the Soni family of Ajmer. The temple, dedicated to Rishabha or Adinatha in 1865, was constructed of red sandstone in a matter of a few years, but it took twenty-five years, from 1870 to 1895, to fashion - by artisans at Jaipur - the thousands of individual parts required to assemble a three-dimensional replica of the story of Rishabha in accordance with an old manuscript by Acharya Jinasena. #swiggywala #localguides @googlemaps #secrettemples#losttemples_276 #findingtemples #indiancontant #coi #woi #tours #todayful #rajasthan_blog_93 #thegenuinerajasthan #ajmerjaintemple #theglobewanderer #templesofindia #sonijikinasiyan #Jain #Jainism #DigambarJain #Ayodhya #Heritage #Historic #Ajmer #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #TravelDiaries https://www.instagram.com/p/CcpEYFPvccK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
