Nasiyan Jain Temple

The Ajmer Jain temple, also known as Soni Ji Ki Nasiyan, is an architecturally rich Jain temple. It was built in the late nineteenth century. The main chamber, known as the Swarna Nagari "City of Gold", has several gold-plated wooden figures, depicting several figures in the Jain religion. This golden chamber of the temple uses gold to carve out a depiction of Ayodhya

The foundation of this magnificent Jain temple was laid on 10 October 1864 by R.B Seth Moolchand Soni and the image of Rishabhdev (Adinath), was installed in the Sanctum Sanctorum on 26 May 1865. This work was carried out under the able guidance of the great scholar Pandit Sadasukhdasji of Jaipur
