    Excellent carvings
    Very old Jain temple. The security is very strict and they don’t allow mobile and cameras. There are five temples and the workmanship on marbles is mesmerising and designs are excellent. A must visit place in Mount Abu. Entry is free.

    Truly wonderful
    These nearly 1000 years old temples are a good enough reason to visit not only Mount Abu but Rajasthan itself. I doubt any finer/better marble carvings can be found anywhere else in this world. The carvings on the main two temples are truly breathtaking. You can spend 3 to 4 hours here and still cannot fully explore and appreciate what is in offer. The temples do not look impressive from outside, which I understand was done to protect them and avoid attack from invaders. Inside its a different world. Temple authority do not allow mobiles, cameras, lighters or any large bags to be taken inside the complex and all of them can be kept at the locker room against a fee of INR 50. Entry is free and the entire complex is very well maintained and clean. I only wish they would have allowed cameras to be taken in, even against an exorbitant fee, so that people could share the beauty of these temples more easily.

    Beautiful ancient temple
    This temple was built about 900 years ago at a cost of ₹18, 53 crores (at that time). Carvings on the roof and pillars are beautiful and mesmerising. Carrying mobile phone is not allowed inside the temple hence no photos.

    One place not to miss.
    Must see place when you visit Udaipur. 3hr drive. Vimal Vasahi and Luna Vasahi are too good. The work on marble is so very intricate and feast to our eyes. Photography is not allowed inside the temple complex.

    Must visit
    Please note that it is open for tourists from 11 am to 5 pm. Jains can visit at any time. As such, plan your visit accordingly. Ladies need to wear a Dopatta (head scarf). Photography is prohibited. So, savor the moment and take pictures in your mind. Small but beautiful place. 2 of the temples have exquisite cravings. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to see them.

A must see Mahaveer Jain Temple for its intrinsic marble work. There are four temples in the compound and all are awe inspiring. Mobile phones are not allowed inside and you need to deposit them at the counter for a fee of Rs 50/-.

Temple is old with beautiful and detailed architecture done with hands. Phones are not allowed, have to be deposited in the cloak room which is chargeable ( INR 50/-). Shorts are not allowed but they provide body covering clothes at the entry point.

Nice place to visit for 30-60 minutes

They take 25 rupees for 1 phone which has to be submitted so suggest you to keep mobile phones in car safely. Shorts and anything above knee height is prohibited so they provide a white cloth to be worn and cover full body. Teples were built during 1031 AD and it is an amaing, peaceful place. CHai Maggi and other shopping shops are available there. One can attend morning prayers which starts from 7 am till 11 am so it is not advisable to go after 12 pm

Dilwara Jain temples are one of the finest pieces of Architecture in the Indian History. The temples located just a km away from the city center are also a major tourist attraction in Mt. Abu. The Jain temples are famous for its carvings. There are close to 7 different temples within the complex and each of them seem to compete with each other on the architecture front. The top of the temples looks rustic and untidy, specially designed to prevent it from being looted and destroyed. The temples have a great piece of history and you surely need a few hours to enjoy it fully. It is open only to Jains in the morning and tourists can visit here post 12 pm once the daily rituals get over.

After knowing the story of temple we appreciate it art work done 1400 years ago.
They have built in just 14years.
World knows about taj mahal art work but we felt art work at dilwara is too recommendable and fabulous.

The temple has one of the most fascinating architecture. The temple was built in the early 16 th century. The fine carvings on marble makes one wonder how much skill the people had during those days when there were no engineering tools. A must visit place.

Total of 5 Jain temples. The exquisite carvings (Jain history) and white marble architecture just amazes you with our ancestors capabilities in those times. I definitely would say this is far superior to Taj Mahal when comparing with white marble architecture. Opens from 12pm to 5pm only. No mobiles allowed or else u need to pay 50rs for cloak room facility. So no option of capturing this magnificent temple.

The Dilwara Temples are the reason you travel to Mt Abu. Nowhere else can you admire such intricate carvings in sparkling white marble. You could spend whole day in these 5 temples ; everywhere you look stunning sculptures demand your attention.
Dilwara could, and maybe should, be the #1 tourist attraction in India. The reason it isn't, is because no photography is allowed - no camera, no mobile. So how can you attract a public if no record can be shown ??!
So I have scanned some images ; I'm sure you will enjoy and I hope Dilwara will open up one day.
