About temple

Intricate carvings on the temple wall

Shantinatha temple is situated near the Fort and Rama temple. The temple was constructed in the 11th—12th century. The temple has undergone renovations, and new shrines were added to the temple complex. The temple is a yellow sandstone structure and is considered an excellent example of North Indian architecture.[1][2] The main shrine houses an 4 metres (13 ft) idol of Shantinatha.[3] The sub-shrines were erected in 18th—19th century by an accountant serving in the court of House of Bhonsle during the reign of Raghoji I Bhonsle.[2][4]

The temple also has a dharamshala equipped with modern facilities, including a bhojanalaya (restaurant).[5]
