Mahavira Jain temple, Jain temple in Osian, India

The Mahavira temple features a central 32-inch statue of Lord Mahavira in padmasana posture, surrounded by painted storyboards depicting the Tirthankara's life.

Dating from 457 BC, this temple stands as the oldest surviving Jain temple in Western India, with major renovations completed during the 11th and 12th centuries.

The temple holds significance for the Oswal Jain community, with seven subsidiary shrines arranged around a pradaksinapatha connecting to the primary sanctuary.

Located 65 kilometers from Jodhpur, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 6:00 AM until 5:00 PM, with guided tours available throughout operating hours.

The central deity statue bears 400 grams of gold covering, while Vidyadevi sculptures throughout the temple display musicians playing traditional instruments.
