Mount
Abu
Built
sometime during the 11th and 13th centuries, these exquisitely carved
temples are dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras. The Vimal Vasahi temple
dedicated to the first Tirthankara was built in 1031 AD and is the
oldest of all them all. The central shrine houses an image of Rishabdev
while 52 smaller shrines surround the courtyard, each housing a beautiful
statue of the Tirthankaras. Another famous example is the Lun Vashi
Temple built in 1231 AD.
The Adhar Devi temple may not be in the same category as Dilwara temples,
yet the temple deserves mention for being one of the few rock cut
temples of the country. This temple has been very carefully chiseled
out of a huge rock. Devotees have to climb 360 stairs to reach the
temple.
The
most beautiful spot of Mount Abu, Nakki lake is surrounded by scenic
hills, colourful parks and some unique rock formations. Tourists come
to the place in large numbers to enjoy the beauty of the place. It
is believed that this lake was scooped out by God using his nails.
Situated close to Nakki lake is a temple dedicated to Shri Raghunathji.
