Ayodhya Shwetambar Jain Temple
About Ayodhya Shwetambar Jain Temple
Located in the Raiganj locality of Ayodhya, this Jain temple is dedicated to Rishabhdev, also known as Adinath, the first Tirthankar in Jain tradition. The temple houses a magnificent 31-foot-high marble statue of Rishabhdev, with additional deity representations on both sides. Ayodhya holds special significance in Jainism as the site where eighteen 'Kalyanak' events of various Tirthankars occurred, with five Tirthankars—Adinath, Ajitnath, Abhinandannath, Sumatinath, and Ananthnath—born and preaching there. The temple was recently developed under the blessings of Acharya Ratna Deshbhushanji Maharaj and Aryika Gyanmati Mataji. The shrine draws devotees throughout the day, with peak atmosphere during evening rituals and festival celebrations when special pujas are performed.
