Begin your tour
Welcome to Vardhman's "Same
Day Delhi Jain Temple Tour"
In the morning you will be picked up from
your hotel/home & then proceed to visit Shri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir, Ahinsa
Sthal & Mehrauli Dadabari complex.
Shri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir
is the oldest and best known Jain temple in Chandni Chowk. An impressive red sandstone
temple today (the temple has undergone many alterations and additions in the past
and was enlarged in the early 19th century), the Digambar Jain Temple is popularly
known as Lal Mandir.
Jainism has 24 Tirthankaras (Gods). First amongst
them is Bhagvan Adinath, also known as Rishabdev. The temple dedicated to him
in the Mehrauli Dadabari complex is famous for it's excellence glasswork and the
murals on its pillar. The 24 Jain Tirthankaras have been depicted in the murals
made of the mirrors and colored glass on the dome.
Ahinsa Sthal is located
on the main Mehrauli Road at the peak of a small hill, 14km southwest of Connaught
Place. This place of non-violence or peace as the name suggests is so named because
a 14 feet large statue of Lord Mahavira stands here and it is now considered a
sacred place by followers of Jainism. The statue was set up here in the mid-1980s
and the area around the sculpture has been developed into a lush green park, over
time.
Later in the evening transfer back to your hotel/home with sweet &
pleasant memories of your tour escorted by Vardhman Vacations.
