Nagaland Jain Tour (Dimapur & Kohima)

Nagaland may be known for its lush hills and vibrant tribal culture, but it also holds deep spiritual significance for Jain pilgrims. This 2 Nights / 3 Days Jain tour takes you through the serene Jain temples of Dimapur and Kohima, blending devotion with cultural discovery.

The highlight of this spiritual journey is the Dimapur Jain Temple, established in 1947 by the pioneering SD Jain Samaj community after Jain families relocated from Kohima during World War II. The temple is a well‑built architectural landmark, featuring intricate glasswork, detailed carvings, and a peaceful ambience that embodies the core Jain values of truth and non‑violence. Its main deity (Moolnayak) is Lord Mahavira, and the complex also houses statues of Lord Adinath, Lord Bahubali, and Lord Bharat Swami along with the Chaubisi (24 Tirthankaras) and a Samavsaran (preaching hall) on the first floor. Devotees can participate in daily prayers and special festivities like Mahavir Jayanti and Paryushan Parva, celebrated with great devotion by the local Jain community.

Dimapur, the commercial gateway of Nagaland, also reflects a harmonious blend of cultures and beliefs, offering visitors both spiritual enrichment and local cultural experiences. The Jain community in Dimapur manages not just religious activities but also social services like charitable clinics and educational institutions, emphasizing service and compassion at the heart of Jain philosophy.

Your journey continues to Kohima, the scenic capital of Nagaland and home to one of the earliest Jain temples in the region, established in the 1920s. This temple offers a tranquil sanctuary nestled amidst the hills, ideal for meditation, prayer, and reflection. Together, these temples showcase how the Jain faith has flourished quietly in India’s Northeast, providing a unique pilgrimage experience far from more traditional Jain circuits.

Throughout this tour, you’ll enjoy a balanced mix of devotional visits, cultural insights, and light sightseeing, making it both spiritually fulfilling and culturally fascinating for devotees and curious travelers alike.
