One of the oldest jain temple in mumbai with excellent pictorization of their deites and gods. Best time to visit is in the evening or just about 8 in the night. Too much rush in the morning with people banging in each other performing rituals More

This temple is very well located (easy to get to, most of the way up Malabar Hill), well tended, and provides a serene contemplative environment. Lots of silver abounds here. More

The entry to Jain temple is nothing impressive until you climb a flight of stairs to actaully enter the temple. The architecture inside is old world with emphasis on wall murals and ceiling decor. Prayer is conducted with people sitting on the floor. The real attraction starts if you wait for the actual ceremony to take place, which we found... More

It was actually surprising... situated in the center of the country - between buildings and vehicles - a place of God. I am Hindu, not Jain, so I just went inside to see it, but it was a great experience. There were Gautama Buddha's statues, and Holy Books. It was a marvelous experience, and I could here chanting from where... More

We didn't know much about the Jain religion until we visited the temple. They certainly have a kind outlook on the world. It was an interesting place and they were certainly welcoming. Even though we were tourists they did not mind let us see their temple. Very nice. More

We weren't allowed to enter the actual place of worship. Based on the sign, I think in the past tourists were not respectful of their rules and now they would not allow tourist to see the actual interior of the temple. More
