Digambar Jain Shantinath ji Bara Mandir - Temple near Ladnu Sujangarh, Nagour
The pillars are crafted with great precision and two figurines of goddess Saraswati are embossed onto them and on the Toran Dwar or main entrance to the temple is an engraving etched onto the pillars indicating the temple’s foundation. The temple is over 1000 years old founded on Ashad Shukla 8 Samvat 1136. The second chamber houses the idol of Lord Ajithnathji , the second Jain Tirthankara along with an inscription etched on the base indicating a date Baishak Shukla 13, Samvat 1209. The idol is made from marble measuring 74x60 centimetres and two similar columns inscribed with figurines of Jain Tirthankaras.
