Digambara Jain Temple, Sarnath, India

The Digambara Jain Temple, Sarnath


The Digambara Jain Temple is located to the southwest of the Dhamekh Stupa in Sarnath, India. This Jain temple was built in 1824. According to belief, this is where Shreyanshnath, the 11th Jain tirthankara, was born. Within the Digambara Jain Temple are frescoes depicting the life of Mahavir, the founder of the present day Jain religion.

The Digambara Jain Temple provided very good views of the Dhamekh Stupa. The caretaker of the temple was gracious is showing me where I can get a good view of the stupa.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
