Arang Jain temples, Jain temple complex in Arang, Chhattisgarh, India

Three distinct Jain temples form this religious complex, featuring black stone carvings and architectural elements characteristic of the Bhumija style.

The temples, dating from the 9th to 11th centuries, were constructed during the reign of the Haihayas Rajput dynasty in ancient Arang.

The Bhand Dewal temple exhibits a star-shaped layout with six offsets rising to five floors, demonstrating advanced architectural techniques of medieval India.

The temple complex, located at coordinates 21°11'43"N 81°58'11"E, operates under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India since 1920.

In 2017, excavations near the temple revealed a 1.16-meter tall statue of Adinath, the first Tirthankara of Jainism.
