Parshvanath Jain temple, Varanasi, Jain temple in Bhelupur, Varanasi, India
The temple complex contains two distinct sections dedicated to the Digambara and Shwetambara sects, each housing different statues of Lord Parshvanath.
Built in 1458 during the Delhi Sultanate period, the temple marks three significant events in Parshvanatha's life: birth, renunciation, and enlightenment.
The temple serves both major Jain denominations, with the Digambara section displaying a 75-centimeter black idol and the Shwetambara section featuring a 60-centimeter white statue.
Located 3 kilometers from Banaras Hindu University and 5 kilometers from central Varanasi, the temple welcomes visitors from noon until 9 PM daily.
The temple complex preserves ancient texts from the 14th century, including the Vividha Tirtha Kalpa by Jinaprabha Suri, documenting its historical significance.
