A key attraction in your Mount Abu trip package will be the Delwara temples. Admirable in their decor, these Jain Temples are extremely fine-looking. Constructed many centuries ago, the Delwara Temples have the most intricate of marble works that you can find. The older of the two temples is known as Vimal Vasahi and is dedicated to the first Tirthankara, Adinath who was the great Jain teacher. Work on the temple began in the year 1031 and it took 14 years for its completion. Just outside the temple’s entrance is the House of Elephants that showcases elephants marching towards the temple. Upon entering the temple, you get to see exquisitely engraved pillars present around the shrine, holding an image of Adinath.

Constructed in 1230 by two Gujarati ministers namely Vastupal and Tejpal, the Luna Vasahi temple is dedicated to Neminath who was the 22nd Tirthankara.
