Bhandasar Jain Temple, renowned for its beautiful leaf paintings, mirror work, and frescoes, is an architectural wonder located in Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. Constructed in the 15th century by Bhandasa Oswal, this temple is dedicated to the fifth Tirthankara, Sumatinath. The temple's stunning yellow stone carvings and vibrant paintings depicting the lives of the Jain Tirthankaras are a sight to behold. Among its most fascinating architectural features are the intricate marble carvings, structural decorations, and gold leaf paintings. The temple stands on a high plinth and is visible from a distance in the city, indicating its historic and religious significance. According to lore, it was built using ghee (clarified butter) instead of water in the mortar, which locals believe seeps through the floor on hot days, though this has not been scientifically verified. The temple's structural design reflects the precise craftsmanship and artistry of the region's artisans during that era, making it a must-visit for architecture enthusiasts and spiritual seekers alike.
