I just love this place. So serene and peaceful and obviously very beautiful. The architect of this temple and the vibes, can't describe in words. ❤️ Have visited this temple during my visit in early morning. It is difficult to reach here with map, try to get help of locals to reach, also it is near to Pashupatinath Temple which is known by all there.

It is said that temple was build by using tonnes of ghee instead of water . Around more than 500 years ago. Temple architect is ok . For worshiping every temple is good. No ticket

This one ancient Jain Temple and situated around Bikaner.Very neet and good place.

The architectural brilliance speaks about it in many folds in the old city of Bikaner. You can comfortably reach there by Innova itself. The serene and peaceful nature will definitely attract you. Another good thing is that it's allowed to take pictures inside the temple unlike many beautiful Jain temples like Dilwara temple in Mount Abu. You will find laxmi narayan temple in its vicinity as well.

It’s the prettiest jain temple i have ever visited 💙🧡 u can have a good time visiting there,, this beautiful place located in the middle of old bikaner is something u must visit💙

Ride to the temple was itself thrilling in car as roads were small. Will recommend to use local auto to reach there. Beautiful temple and beautiful history behind it. Forget to click the picture but there was peace serenity and mesmerizing experience

Worth visiting, especially if you are walking around old Bikaner lanes on the merchant's trail. Very peaceful and interesting temple.

There is very interesting story behind this spectacular Jain Temple situated in Bikaner, Rajasthan. It is to be said that more than 10000 kg pure Ghee, thats butter in the foundation of the temple. One Mr. Bhadashah a wealthy Jain residing in Bikaner wanted to built this temple, and when he was seen to clean a drop of butter from floor and rubbed it on his shoes, to try his cunningness, the contractor asked Mr. Bhandashah to supply Ghee for the foundation. To the surprise of the contractor, next day he saw a line of vheicles full of tins of butter to be used instead of water in the morter for foundation. This is how this temple was built using ghee instead of water, only case in the world.

This is an ancient Jain temple. It is very beautiful and the art work done inside the temple is awesome. It's a very calm place and it seems during the construction of this temple they have put 40,000 kg Desi Ghee and if you visit this temple in May or June month then you can have a feel of ghee while roaming in the temple.

A beautiful temple with intricate carvings, a peaceful atmosphere and a rich history.

I visited Seth bhandasar jain temple on Sunday morning, there was no rush . I worshipped peacefully along with my kids and family . I suggest to visit the place early in the morning or in evening because of scrotching heat in 🌞 summer .

Didn't go inside as it wasn't open when we visited and hadn't checked the timings of the temple. Atleast watched hundreds of pigeons around this place.

It's a unique architecture temple, walls with oil painting, structure made mix with Ghee(oil). Famous Jain temple. Must visit. Historic place

Beautiful temple. Beautiful Architecture and Sculptures However, it is not very easy to get there by your own car. It would be better to hire an e-rickshaw. It would be better to go in the evening. A lot of dust comes from the windows due to which the shine on the walls is fading. it should be noted.

It was between my hotel and another place I wanted to see, I asked where to take shoes off. They were polite and left me to my worship. There is a story attached to temple and I need to look it up. I was a peaceful 20 mins, remember to make a donation and be respectful. God bless

Absolutely must see in Bikaner! beautiful well-maintained Temple.
