About
Jain temple is one of the oldest temples in Bikaner, and was built in the 15th century. It is decorated with mirror work, frescoes and leaf paintings. The temple is built of red sandstone and is divided into three floors. One can see the skyline of Bikaner by climbing to the topmost floor of this temple. It is believed that the temple was made with 40,000 kilograms of ghee instead of mortar, which locals insist seeps through the walls on hot days.

Very beautiful interior painting inside this Jain temple. Dedicated to fifth thirtankara Sumatinatha. Calm and serene atmosphere. Photography allowed inside. It is better to hire an autorickshaw since the roads are very narrow. Cars entering are difficult. Duration -1 hour. Must visit place if ur in Bikaner.

It is such a beautiful temple. It is like an art gallery. And everything has been maintained so well. The frescoes seem like they have been painted six months back though it's hundred of years old. The place was also very neat. Reaching by own vehicle can be a bit challenging considering the small lanes of the old city. We left our car at a considerable distance and took an auto to reach the place. Must visit.

Swetamber Jain Temple dedicated to Sumatinath Bhagwan is full of intricate paintings in Bikaner. Predates the city and rumored to have been built using ghee (clarified butter) in the foundation. A must visit

Good historcal temple for a quick visit
Nov 2020 • Family
If you are in the old city area then must visit this place .... They say 45000 kilo of clarified butter was used in the foundation of this temple due to lack of water in the area and during summers you can feel it on the floor..overall good architecture ..giving 4 stars as i have been to Jaisalmer jain temples as well and those are grand architectural marvels so compared to that this wasnt matching to that expectation but if hvnt visited then and visiting this place the. You will be awestruck

This was the first temple which allowed to take picture, unlike Jain temple of Mount Abu or any other temple of the world for that matter. And man, its mesmerizing. Such an old temple, so well maintained and looked after. The priests are kind and open minded. The architecture is beautiful, beyond words. You gotta see it for yourself to experience it..
