Lodurva Jain mandir


This beautiful Lodurva Jain mandir dedicated to Lord Parshvanath is situated in Lodhva, 20 km from Jaisalmer, which used to be the capital of Bhati Rajputs before Lodhwa Jaisalmer. Mohammed Gauri and Ghazni invaded Loderva in the Giravi century and destroyed the city. After his invasion, Jaisalmer was established in 1156 and the Bhati Rajputs shifted their capital from Loderva.


These Lodurva jain mandir were also included in the buildings destroyed by the invasion of Ghazni and Gauri, but after the contribution of the people of Jain society present in the country and abroad after independence, this temple was renovated. The Jain temple of Lodra, present in Lodra, once deserted by the fear of invasions, is the most popular among the Jain pilgrims in Rajasthan and surrounding areas today.


Like other buildings in Jaisalmer, Lodurva jain mandir also looks golden, as Jaisalmeri sandstone has also been used to build the Jain temple of Lodra. In the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, the Jain Tirthankara Parshvanathji idol remains, while the four corners of the temple have 4 temples dedicated to different Tirthankaras. Choose a fleet and rent a Taxi in Jaisalmer for a closer look at Jain Temple with JCRCAB.


The biggest attraction in the temple is the Kalpavaraksh present in the temple, this Varsha built on the top of the temple is considered to be one of the 14 gems that were received during the sea churning of the deities. This Varsha, which is considered to be the Varsha of heaven, was given to Lord Indra after being received in the churning, which he had put somewhere in the Himalayas. In Hinduism, there is a belief that whatever desire is worshiped at the bottom of Kalpavarksha, it is fulfilled because this tree has immense positive energy.


Talking about the architecture of the temple, the beautiful stone carvings on both the outer and inner walls of the temple of Tell Du have been made which will surprise anyone. A beautiful arch is made at the main entrance of the temple, which is seen welcoming the devotees as soon as they enter. Even after the destruction in the 11th century, the temple stands gracefully and is as beautiful as it would be at that time, everything from carving to sculpture has been done closely. Take a trip to Jain Temple with a JCR cab, book a Car Rental in Jaisalmer, and enjoy the historic place.
