Jambudweep, Jain temple in Hastinapur, India

Jambudweep is a Jain temple in Hastinapur with white and colored marble structures arranged in a circular layout. The complex contains several shrines, including Sumeru Parvat, the Lotus Temple, and spaces for meditation and prayer.

A Jain nun named Gyanmati established the shrine in 1972 following a meditation experience that connected with ancient cosmographic texts. The vision led to creating this physical representation of sacred concepts.

The temple functions as a research center for Jain cosmology, displaying religious concepts through its architectural design. Visitors can observe how cosmic ideas are represented spatially here, connected to ancient texts.

The complex is easy to navigate, with all shrines clearly marked and organized. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and move respectfully through the sacred areas.

The Teen Lok Rachna within the temple displays the three levels of Jain cosmology represented in spatial form. This display allows visitors to understand complex religious concepts through physical exploration.
