In the building behind the main temple is housed the huge gold leaf model telling stories from Jain manuscripts. Thousands of intricate parts go towards the telling of the story. I loved the airships and the procession of Celestials. The room housing the models is quite large, and you can see it through windows all round the upper part of... More

Basically, it's a jain temple. situated in the heart of city. Very ordinary from outside, but worth visiting once if you are in Ajmer.

Only interesting thing was hearing someone literally say: "The world is flat, it is true!" The temple itself is closed to the public, but a maquette of the Jain universe is on display.

This is a must visit in Ajmer, besides the dargah. Had we not known or read about it beforehand, we would have surely missed it. A very ordinary looking structure from outside, it is only when you step inside the nasiyan you really understand the awe inspiring & magnificent work that makes up this temple/museum.

A must visit place for all jains.it's popular as soni ji ki nasiyan.it's a re creation of a phase when God(tirthankar) addresses the masses. There's a Jain temple adjoining it, but non jains won't enjoy it.
