Temple Built With Butter,Bhandasar Jain Temple,Bikaneer


When we talk of temples in India,we think of Temples dedicated to Hindu Gods.

These temples are poems in architecture and were designed geometrically aligned with Latitudes,idols with unique characteristics and using advanced technology.

There are Jain and Buddhist temples,which are equally marvelous.

Would any one believe that a Temple,three storeyed,was built with Ghee,instead of water and mortar?

This is the Bhandasar Jain temple dedicated to the Third Thirthankara of Jainism,Sumatinatha.
This temple was constructed by Bhandasa Oswal in 15th century. The temple is dedicated to the 5th tirthankar Sumatinatha. According to legends 40,000 kilograms of ghee was used in the construction of this temple instead of water in mortar.
