Dadabari Jain Mandir is located to the north-west of Madhi Masjid
in Mehrauli. The mandir holds an interesting group of buildings,
dedicated to a Jain saint, Manidhari Shri Jinchandra Suriji, who
lived in the twelfth century.
Although the site of the temple is historic, the present building
is mainly modern. The main temple consists of an open hall with
white marble columns and ornamental brackets. The structure is
also decorated with sacred religious texts all over the verandah.
The temple has several reverse glass paintings depicting various
Jain saints. Unlike most Jain temples, this temple has a painted
ceiling instead of carvings on the surface.<<Back to Monument List
