Product Info

You will be picked up in the morning by an English-speaking driver from Jodhpur Airport, Jodhpur Junction Railway Station, the bus station or your centrally located hotel in Jodhpur. After pick-up, you will leave for Jain Temple in Ranakpur.

It is believed that the Ranakpur temple was built in the 15th century under the direction of Seth Dharna Shah, who was a follower of Jainism and a businessman by profession. He constructed the temple with the help of Rana Kumbha, the king of Mewar, whose condition for help was that the temple be named after him. There are four entrances to reach the main chamber, where the idol of Adinath is placed. There are also five pillars in the temple, each holding idols of various Tirthankaras. The biggest pillar, standing in the center of all others, holds an idol of Adinath. After visiting the beautiful Jain Temple, you will be taken to Udaipur, where you will be dropped off at your hotel or preferred location.


Note: If your hotel is on a small street, we will pick you up from and drop you off at the nearest point to the hotel.
