The small town of Ranakpur is home to what is arguably the most spectacular of all India’s Jain temples. The complex rests on a lush mountain slope and encompasses a series of temples dating to the 15th century, all constructed from white marble and featuring exquisite decorative detail. The main temple, Chamukha, is a multi-tiered structure with no less than 80 domes and over 1400 pillars, all of which are intricately carved with unique designs – no two are alike. As the light changes during the day, so does the colour of the temple interior, shifting from golden to cream and then pale blue at dusk. In addition to admiring the temples, sightseers can go trekking in Roopnmata or enjoy a Jeep Safari at the Ranakpur Wildlife Sanctuary. Crocodile-spotting, wolf-spotting at the Jaba Wolf Point and watching a beautiful sunset at the Ranakpur Dam are other activities to indulge in here.
