Saturday Snapshot ~ Ranakpur Jain Temple


For Saturday Snapshot, I am sharing few pictures of Ranakpur Jain Temple. A few days back I was going through my old pictures folder and thought to share a few pictures here. I had been to Ranakpur, Rajasthan during our 2010 India Trip. Ranakpur is famous for its Jain temple. It is exquisitely carved and is a destination for many tourists and pilgrims. To know about it more follow this link to Wikipedia

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books. It’s easy to participate – just post a picture that was taken by you, a friend, or a family member and add your link on Alyce’s site.



 There are around 1444 pillars in the temple and not two of them are same!


 This design is carved in a single piece of rock.
Isn't it exquisite!

Thank you for stopping by! Cheers!

    How utterly magnificent! A fabled place - Rajasthan. The name alone conjures up images of fabulous palaces, temples, maharajahs and maharanis...

    Such intricate carving. It must have taken years to build.
