Description:

Explore the vast Jain temple complex at Ranakpur as you visit one of the most magnificent temples in India on a private tour. Stand awestruck by the grandeur of the white marble façade, hear the history of an ancient religion, and reflect over lunch in a delightful location.

In the Aravalli Hills, north of Udaipur and within the scenic Kumbhalgarh National Park, lies the village of Ranakpur, unassuming aside from its resplendent white marble Jain Temple complex. The temple's 29 halls contain more than 1,400 unique pillars arranged in a stunning geometric fashion.

Outside the temple, listen as your knowledgeable guide enlightens on the history of the Jain religion, and the temple's significance since its 14th century inception. Marvel at its size, covering 38,750 square feet (3,600 sq m), and explore the surroundings in your own time.

Enjoy a serene lunch at the Maharani Bagh Orchard Retreat, an idyllic location from which to reflect on the architectural wonder you have just observed.
