JainTirth

Alappuzha, Kerala

The Jain temple at Alappuzha is beautiful and impressive with a rich history of its own. The marble walls of the temple and the poignant style of construction certainly set it apart from the rest of religious structures in the area. The temple is made of white marble and Rajasthan stones, with a dome flaunting an intricate charm unseen elsewhere.

There are four statues of Tirthankaras (11th, 12th, 13th and 15th) as main deities. The statue of the 23rd Tirthankara is placed at the top floor of the temple. As it is the only Jain temple in the district, don’t miss it; it definitely speaks volumes of a bygone era.
