Shantinath Jain temple, Kothara, Jain temple in Kothara, India

The Shantinath Temple features a central dome hall with twenty-two pilasters and sixteen pillars supporting intricate marble structures and decorated shrines.

The temple construction, completed in 1861, required an investment of £40,000, with Shah Velji Malu contributing half of the total amount.

The temple houses a large statue of Shantinath, the sixteenth Tirthankara, installed by Acharya Ratnasagarsuri of the Śvetāmbara Murtipujaka tradition.

Located 80 kilometers from Bhuj railway station and airport, the temple remains open to visitors from 5:30 AM until 8:30 PM daily.

An underground shrine beneath the main hall contains twenty-five white marble figures with precious stones embedded in their eyes, chest, and arms.
