Panchasara Parshwanath Jain Derasar

About this place

This Jain temple is admired for its devotional calm and marble craftsmanship—detailed ceilings, carved interiors, and an atmosphere that feels deeply spiritual yet artistically rich. For visitors, it offers a strong contrast to stepwell architecture: here, you see living worship traditions alongside heritage design, making it both a pilgrimage and a cultural stop.

History & highlights

Gujarat Tourism states the temple was built by King Vanraj Chavda around 746 CE and named after the idol brought from Panchasara. It also notes the temple was destroyed in earlier invasions and renovated over centuries, reflecting Patan’s long Jain heritage and the repeated rebuilding that many historic religious sites in the region experienced.
