The main temple or Chaumukha temple (four faces) is dedicated to first tirthankara Adinath. Surrounded by the dense forests of the Aravali, this is one of the largest Jain temples in India. Built in the 15th century, detailed and intricate carvings on marble resemble lace work rather than stone carving. The temple was built by a rich merchant Dhanra Shah. It is shaped like a Nalinigulm Vimana (the heavenly plane) that Dharna Shah had seen in his dream. Designed by Deepa Shilpi, it took 65 years (1367-1432) to erect and this Jain Temple of Ranakpur is the largest and most complex in India. It also boasts of being one of the five most important holy places of the Jains.
