Built in the 11 th and 13 th centuries, these are architectural wonders in translucent white marble. These temples are famous for their rich, intricate marble carvings.

The temple Vimal Vasahi, which is the oldest of these Jain temples, was built in 1031 A.D by Vimal Shah. It is dedicated to Adinath, first tirthankar. Situated in the village of Dilwara, this depicts Gurjar-Pratitar temple architecture, made up of a central shrine, a room with a transcept, a large colonnaded area, and an ambulatory lined by 52 small shrines, each housing a statue.
