Sanganer
Sanganer is located 16 Kms from Jaipur. It is also known for exquisite
Jain temples. Moreover, it is an important centre for
crafts and hand-printed textiles that is
internationally famous.
 The most beautiful temple in Sanganer is the ancient
Shri Digamber Jain temple. The temple has fine
carvings as those of the magnificent Dilwara temples
of Mount Abu. Built in various phases with sky-high
shikharas (spires), the temple represents an old style
of architecture. The last phase was probably built in
the 10th
century. The beautiful nij-mandir (inner temple) is a
stone shrine with three pinnacles. In the centre is an
idol of Parshwanath with 7 serpent hoods. All around
it, are carvings of lotuses, creepers and elephants
pouring water from pitchers held in their trunks. But
the main idol is that of Adinath, installed in the
shrine behind this.
