Ajmer Jain Temple
Ajmer Jain Temple or Soniji Ki Nasiyan is a Digambar Jain temple dedicated to Lord Rishabhdev (Agnidev), the first of the 24 Tirthankara of Jainism. The temple is made of red sandstone which is why it is also called the Red Temple. The main attraction of the temple is the main chamber, known as the Swarna Nagari "City of Gold", which has several gold-plated wooden figures, depicting several figures in Jainism.
The city of Ayodhya has been carved out of wood and plated with 1000 kg of gold in the main chamber. The intricacy is remarkable. Only Jains are allowed in the main temple or the Lal Mandir/Red Temple and carry out their rituals.
