Jain Mahavira Temple is in the back streets of Osian near Jodhpur worth visiting whilst in the desert state of Rajasthan. This temple is amongst the oldest Jain temple (9th century) In the center of the temple lies the gigantic 32 inch sand & cow milk statue of Lord Mahavira in the padmasana posture, Some great carvings and a beautiful painted story board of the life of the last Tirthankara very beautiful sand stone carvings The level of peace and tranquility maintained here is unmatchable. It is great place to go. It has a good dharamshala and Bhojnalay next door for those keen to stay and have Jain food in Osian town. Very well preserved temple given that it is so old (2000 Years old). From the outside it looked like nothing, but once you step inside the silence and peace is overwhelming. We were lucky to be told the history of the temple and the idols by our guide. It was absolutely stunning and completely unexpected. The location is off the beaten track but worth making the effort, an to also see the sun temple ruins. .
