This temple is renowned among Jains for its beauty – and given how beautiful Jain temples are, that’s saying a lot.
The ceiling is aglow in warmer, richer shades of the reds and depicts the signs of the zodiac. This beautifully decorated and adorned temple has an entrance flanked by two stone elephants. The downstairs area houses an array of deities and saints, including an image of Ganesh that recalls historical links between Jainism in Mumbai. As its name suggests, the temple is Lord Adishwar (also known as Rushabhdev), the first of 24 Jain “Tirthankaras” (special liberated souls who have attained omniscience, and guide other souls from the cycle of death and rebirth) of the current era.
