Calcutta Jain Temple

Towards the south of the temple of Shitalanatha, lies the shrine of Chandaprabha, which was built by Ganeshlal Kapoorchand Jahar in the year 1895.

[6] During this period the Jains observe Ahimsa, listen to recitations of scriptures of worship and perform charitable deeds.

The place is famous all over that is why devout Jains from distant parts of India flock to the Temple precincts all round the year.

The deity of Lord Shitalanath is seated in the sanctum sanctorum and his diamond-studded forehead is a major attraction for the visitors.

Parshwanatha Jain Temple, Kolkata has displays of exquisite designs and it is an impressive structure consisting of mirror-inlaid pillars and windows that are made of stained glass.

The marble images wear gold necklace, silver lotus pedestals, and a big diamond-inlaid forehead.

[9][4] The interiors of the temple are splendidly adorned, along with the outdoors, which are surrounded with many beautifully-colored flower gardens and fountains.

Chandeliers or Jhar Battis are another feature that make the interiors sparkle and lends the extra shimmer to the serenity of the temple.

The floor is intricately paved with marble and embellished with exquisite floral designs that provide a classy look to this colossal architecture.
