Ladnun Jain Tirth - Bh. Shantinath

Jaipur, Rajasthan

Location : 210 Kilometers Away From Jaipur By Road.

Ladnun is an ancient and historical place where Jain idols were excavated from earth, from time to time. Not only idols, but workship utensils were also found. The oldest temple of this place is called Bada Mandir which is 11 feet below the plinth level. The pillars and ceiling of the temple are most fantastic. This temple is dedicated to Bhagwan Shantinath. One idol of Jain sarswati 3 ¼ feet high is existing along with other idols in different vedies.
