Situated outside Delhi Gate in Ahmedabad, Hatheesingh Temple
was built in 1850 AD by Seth Hatheesing who was a rich Jain
merchant. The temple is much famous for its intricate carvings and
profuse architectural designs.
Built in white marble, it is dedicated to 15th Jain Trithanakara
(Jain Proponent), Dharmnath. The courtyard around the temple, is
surrounded by a row of abbey of 52 holy places with each one having
an image of a Trithankara.
This two storied structure has a dome at the front while other two
sides have ornately carved out galleries. One of the most beautiful
Jain Temples in India, is a must visit.
