Kochi Jain temple, Jain temple in Mattancherry, Kochi, India

The temple features white marble tiles throughout its structure, with detailed artworks, sculptured pillars and statues of Tirthankaras decorating the interior spaces.

Built in 1904 by Hirubhai Jivraj Dhanji to honor her husband's memory, this temple reflects architectural influences from traditional Jain temples of Gujarat.

The temple serves as a central gathering point for 850 Gujarati families in Fort Kochi who maintain their Jain traditions and religious practices.

Visitors must follow strict dress codes, with men required to cover their knees, and the temple maintains specific entry regulations for all worshippers.

At 12:30 each day, the temple hosts a ceremonial pigeon feeding session where the birds traditionally circle the main temple structure three times.
