Mandeswar Jain temple, Arthuna, Rajasthan India

The Mandaleswar Temple, built in 1080AD by a Paramara king called Chamunda Raja, is another noteworthy one dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple has some insciptions and sculpted figures, a common feature in ancient Hindu and Jain temples. However, the temple’s uniqueness lies in its fully decorated ceiling which resembles those of the Dilwara Temples at Mount Abu. Other nameless temples within the periphery also have some marvellous sculptures and figures on their exterior walls.
