Sarnath Jain Tirth, Jain temple in Sarnath, India.

The Digambara Jain Temple features a large statue of Shreyansanatha as its central figure, accompanied by carved footprint impressions throughout the structure.

Constructed in 1824, this temple marks the birthplace of Shreyansanatha, the eleventh Tirthankara, and contains remains of an earlier Svetambara temple nearby.

The temple walls display detailed frescoes illustrating the life events of Mahavira, the last Tirthankara and spiritual teacher of Jainism.

Located southwest of Dhamek Stupa, the temple maintains specific visiting hours and requires visitors to remove shoes before entering the prayer halls.

The site commemorates four significant events of Shreyansanatha: his conception, birth, renunciation, and attainment of infinite knowledge.
