Jain temples, Abhapur, Śvetāmbara Jain temples in Abhapur, Gujarat, India

Twelve sandstone temples stand near Polo Forest along the Harnav River, featuring detailed ceiling work and geometric patterns on carved pillars.

The temples were built during the 15th century when Rathod Rajputs from Marwar sought refuge in this region of northern Gujarat.

The largest structure, Lakhena temple, contains a mulnayak of Tirthankara Parshvanatha with sculptures of Goddess Padmavati and intricate apsara carvings.

The temple complex spreads across 50 square kilometers and requires navigation through forest paths to reach the various structures.

In 1955, local Bhil tribes guided a pilgrimage group to rediscover these temples, leading to the rescue of five significant idols.
