At the foot of a remote steep, wooded escarpment of theAravalli Hills Ranakpur is one of India`s biggest and most important Jain temple complexes. It`s 75 km northwest of Udaipur. The main Temple, the Chaumukha Mandir ( four faced temple), is dedicated to Adinath, the first Jain tirhankar, and was built in the 15th Century in milk-White marble. An incredible feat of Jain devotion, this is a complicated series of 29 halls, 80 domes and 1444 individually engraved pillars.
