Chandraprabhu Temple, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan India

Chandraprabhu temple, the Jain temple built in 1509 AD, is located at the Jaisalmer Golden Fort. This is the first of the seven temples built during 15th and 16th centuries and is devoted to the Jain Prophet Chandraprabhuji, the 8th Tirthankara,.

The temple is an excellent specimen of centuries old Rajput architectural style constructed in red sandstones. The marvel of the structure lies in the well designed walkways, corridors, curved facades and open space. Complex designs of pillars and carvings with well calculated geometrical shapes constructed in mortars and stones are real specimen of the architectural excellence of the period.
