Mount Abu Jain Temples

Mt Abu is a hill station 1200m (3960 ft) above sea level in the southwest corner of Rajasthan, by the Gujarat border. It is a quiet, mellow town with no bicycle or auto-rickshaws allowed. This is an important Jain pilgrimage site because of the marble temples located at Dilwara, which are covered with some of the most intricately carved sculptures in India.

There are no beggars, pushy salesmen or commission agents, except for a few guys who want to help you find a hotel. Mount Abu is visited mainly by middle-class Indian tourists and honeymooners, with a small percentage of Western tourists. Many budget travelers find Mount Abu expensive, especially during the busy season. To get here, you can take a side trip from Udaipur (5 hr), or stop here while going between Mumbai and Delhi.

Mount Abu is on a plateau, the top of which is about 22km by 6km and which varies in height from 1050m (3500 ft) to 1680m (5600 ft). The town of Mount Abu is flat, but everywhere else in the area is hilly. You have to make steep climbs to see some of the sites. You can visit everything here in one day, but may want to stay a few more days as it is a pleasant place.

When to Visit
The best time to visit is from March to June and Sept to Nov. It can be cold here in the winter because of the high elevation. I was in Mt Abu at the end of February and needed a sweater at night, but it was not uncomfortable. March and April are quiet, and hotel rooms are half price. The high seasons are late-April to June and Sept to Oct, when room rates can be three times the cost of other times of the year. Winter temperatures are 7ºC to 26ºC; summer 17ºC to 33ºC.

Nakki Lake
This is the beautiful lake next to downtown. Bathing in this lake is held to be as purifying as bathing in the Ganges. The lake is said to have been dug by a sage using only his nails (nakha).

The 14th century Raghunathji Temple, with Deities of Lord Rama, Laksman, and Sita, is next to the lake. Southwest of the Raghunathji Temple is a famous large rock that resembles a toad. There are also other large rocks called Camel Rock and Nandi Rock. By the lake is Ram Kund, a small well that never dries up.

Renting a row boat is Rs 200 for a half-hour and a pedal boat is Rs 60 for a two person boat for a half-hour.

Museum and Art Gallery
The museum has exhibits dating from the 8th to the 12th centuries. It has sculptures, Jain bronzes, and textiles. Open daily except Fri 10 am to 4.30 pm.

Vasistha Muni Ashram
It is said that Mount Abu used to be the home of Vasistha Muni, Lord Rama’s guru. This place was called Nandivardhan after Nandini, the wish-fulfilling cow who lived with Vasistha. One time, while Nandini was grazing by the lake here, she fell in. Vasistha then flew to the Himalayas to ask the gods to save her. They sent Arbuda, the celestial cobra, who brought a huge rock on his hood. Arbuda dropped the rock into the lake and it became the present Mount Abu. The water from the lake was displaced and Nandini saved. The spot is now known as Arbudachala, the hill of Arbuda.

Parasuram, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, killed twenty-one generations of ksatriyas (warriors) to avenge the death of his father, who was murdered by ksatriyas. It is said that the gods came to Mount Abu to ask Vasistha to restore the situation caused by the lack of ksatriyas on earth. Vasistha performed a fire sacrifice, and out of the flames came the four “fire-born” Rajput clans.

The Gaumukh Temple (1337) at this place is said to mark the spot where Vasistha’s ashram was located. Inside the temple are deities of Lord Rama, Laksman, Vasistha and his wife, Arundhati. At this place water flows out from a marble cow, giving the temple its name. Gau means “cow” and mukh means “face.”

In front of the main shrine is the sacrificial fire-pit from which the Rajput clan is said to have come. There is a tank here called Agni Kund, said to have been created by Vasistha Muni. This place is located on the road to Abu Rd, 8km southeast of Mount Abu.

Dilwara Jain Temples
There are five magnificent temples here. The Adinath Temple (Vimala Vasahi) and Neminath Temple (Luna Vasahi) are the most notable.

The Adinath Temple (Vimala Vasahi) was built completely of white marble in the 11th century (1031) by Vimala Shah, a minister of the Solanki king, Bhima I. It is dedicated to the first Jain tirthankara, Adinath. It is covered with very superb carvings. It is said that it took 1500 sculptors and 1200 laborers fourteen years to complete. The bronze figure of Adinath wears a gem necklace and has eyes made of precious stones. The temple is said to have cost 180 million rupees.

Surrounding the courtyard are fifty-two identical cubicles, each containing a figure sitting in meditation. The temple has intricate carvings of Narasimha and Krishna’s pastimes. On the ceiling of the thirty-fourth cell (old No. 29) is a beautiful sculpture of Krishna subduing the Kaliya snake. When you come off the street into the temple complex, directly in front of you is the small Mahavir Temple, and slightly to the right is the Adinath Temple.

The Neminath Temple (Luna Vasahi) was built in 1231 by the brothers Vastupal and Tejapala, ministers of the king of Viradhaval in Gujarat. It is dedicated to the 22nd tirthankara, Neminath. The carvings on this temple are extremely intricate. The lotus on the center of the dome is outstanding. Several full-time carvers are employed to maintain and restore the temple.

The Chaumukha Temple (Parsvanatha) was built around 1459 and is the tallest of the Dilwara temples. The unfinished Sri Risha Deoji (13th century) has a huge, 4.3 ton tirthankara statue made of panchadhatu (five metals)—gold, silver, brass, copper, and zinc.

These temples are open from 12 noon to 6 pm for non-Jains. Visitors are not permitted to bring anything leather into the temple; this is strictly enforced. Video cameras are also prohibited.

There is a sign at the entrance that says: “Entry of women on their monthly course is strictly prohibited.” Women may be questioned about this. These temples are a one-hour walk from the downtown. Shared jeeps (Rs 3) come here from Mount Abu.

There are four ruined temples to the northwest of the Jain temples including a Vishnu temple and the Kanya Kumari temple.

About half a km away is a small wildlife sanctuary, which contains Trevor’s Tank. Crocodiles lie around on the bank of the tank. Visitors can get a good view from the paths that lead through the park.

Viewpoints
The most famous place for people to view the sunset is Sunset Point (2km from town). You can get there by renting a camel at the end of Sunset Road.

There is a good view of the lake from the terrace of the Maharaja of Jaipur’s former summer palace. Honeymoon Point also has a view of the sunset. There are also good viewpoints at Shanti Shikhar, Robert’s Spur, and The Crags.

Brahma Kumaris Center
Located here is a spiritual university of the Brahma Kumaris (phone 238268). To take one of the courses, prospective students must contact the branch closest to where they live and arrange attendance here in advance. The introductory course (seven classes) can be taken without advanced arrangements. Courses are free, as everything is paid for by donations.

The Brahma Kumaris believe that all religions lead to God, so all are bona fide and should be studied. They have centers in over sixty countries. They practice Raja Yoga. When I visited this place, I found the people to be serious, caring, and loving. They seemed to be sincere and unmotivated. It is worth a visit.

There is a museum named the "Gateway to Paradise" in the town, which explains their teachings and has daily meditation classes. Open daily 8 am to 8 pm. Admission: free.

Achalgarh
There is an ancient 9th century Siva temple and fort in Achalgarh, 11km from Mt Abu. The Siva temple has Siva’s toe-print instead of a linga. Lord Siva is said to have stood on Mount Abu to stop it from moving. Where the Siva-linga would normally be located, there is a deep hole that is said to go to Patala, the innermost core of the earth. In the temple compound there is a Lakshmi Narayan temple with figures of Vishnu’s ten incarnations.

There is a tank here called Mandakini Kund (near the temple) with three stone buffaloes and a king shooting them with a bow and arrow. The tank is now in ruins. It is said that the tank was once filled with ghee. When three demons came each night in the form of buffaloes to steal the ghee, the king shot them. The Parmar Chief Dharavarsha is said to have killed these three buffaloes with one arrow.

There is a path that goes to a group of interesting Jain temples on the hill (ten-minute climb).

Other Places
There is a small Dattatreya Temple at Guru Shikhar, 15km from town at 1720m (5,675 ft). This is the highest point in Rajasthan. There are 300 steps leading to the temple located on top of a hill. A little to the northwest is a temple dedicated to Ahalya, Dattatreya’s mother.

The Adhar Devi Temple is 3km northeast of town. This is a 500-year-old Durga temple. Over 400 steps must be climbed to reach it. The temple is situated in a small cave, and it is necessary to bend over to enter the temple. There is a good view of Mount Abu from here.

Shopping
The Rajasthan Handicraft Emporium, near the bus stand, and Khadi Gramodyog Bhavan are two good shops. Chacha Museum is a big, old emporium with many interesting objects.

Where to Stay
The high season goes from mid-March to mid-November. The peak times are May 15 to June 15, Diwali time in November, and Christmas/New Years. During the high season, hotel owners raise their prices and it can be difficult to find a room at any price without a reservation. During the off-season there can be up to a 50% discount off the hotel prices. The prices given are mainly for the off-season. For what you get, Mt Abu is an expensive place to stay. Hotels often have a 9 am checkout time, so you may want to look into this in advance.

During the high-season most of the hotels will be full. If you come during the peak time, the touts (commission agents) that meet you at the bus stations can actually help you get a room. They will know which hotels still have rooms left.
