Mohankheda, Sacred Jain temple complex in Rajgarh, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Mohankheda is a Jain temple in Rajgarh with a 16-foot marble statue of Rishabhanatha, the first Tirthankara, seated in lotus position within the central sanctuary. The complex includes multiple buildings with residential spaces, dining halls, and parking on the grounds.
A spiritual leader named Acharya Rajendrasuri founded this temple in 1884 and brought sacred statues and teaching materials with him. Over time, memorial structures for several teachers were added to this location to preserve their contribution to the community.
The temple draws devotees who gather here at specific times of the year to pray and meditate together in a community setting. The spaces are designed simply to encourage quiet reflection, which is central to Jain spiritual practice.
The temple is about 8 kilometers from Sardarpur Bus Stand and is easily accessible by private vehicle or taxi. The grounds offer air-conditioned rooms and dining options for visitors who wish to stay longer.
The grounds house memorial structures for three influential teachers who are buried at this location and whose names remain alive in the community today. These monuments show how important knowledge and spiritual guidance are in the Jain tradition.
