Mathura Chaurasi, Mathura

Before Hinduism took centre stage in Mathura, the town was a thriving centre for Buddhism and Jainism. Although most monasteries and temples were later destroyed by the Mughal rulers, some still stand and attract pilgrims year-round. Mathura Chaurasi is a Jain temple and is one of the few places of worship in Mathura which is dedicated to Jain culture and faith. This sacred site is located near a forest and the Yamuna river.

The temple has colourful paintings and inscriptions on the walls, a feature typical of Jain culture and art. The temple is built across a wide rectangular expanse of land and has two dharamshalas with sixty rooms each. These rooms are well equipped to cater to the accommodation needs of visitors.
