History & significance
A white marble Jain temple in Ahmedabad built in 1848, begun by Hutheesing Kesarisinh and completed under his widow Harkunwar, with 52 subsidiary shrines around the main temple and a 78-foot Manastambha added for Mahavira's 2500th birth anniversary. It was raised during a severe famine and employed hundreds of artisans for two years.
