Ranakpur Jain Temple

The temple was built in 1439 and is nearly 580 years old. It was built by a Jain merchant named Dharna Shah. At that time, the king Gennakerp gave him a piece of land in the valley of the Arawali Mountains to build the temple. The condition was that the temple should be named after the emperor, so the merchant invited the best craftsmen in India, and it took 60 years to build this miraculous Jain temple.
