Ranakpur:
Forty miles (60km) north of Udaipur is the Jain temple of Ranakpur. It is the largest of its kind in India and boasts some staggering marble work, on a par with any in Asia. The main temple was built in 1439 and is dedicated to the first tirthankara Adinath, whose image is enshrined in its central sanctuary. The temple is a two or three storey high in parts, and its roof, topped with five large shikharas, undulates with tiny spires that crown the small shrines to Jain saints lining the temple walls. The carving on the walls, columns and the domed ceilings is superb. Friezes depicting the life of the Tirthankara are etched into the walls, while musicians and dancers have been modeled out of brackets between the pillars and the ceiling. Ranakpur's isolated position means it is not on the major tourist trail, but it makes a good stop for those traveling between Jaipur and Udaipur
