Jain Temple City

A Major Stop in Desert Between Jodhpur

Details of Artwork in Jain Temple at Osian
Jaisalmer. This small town surprised me with it wonderful restoration of an ancient Hindu Temple, where the craftsman worked with hand tools much as they might have during the original construction. Another surprise was a Jain priest who served in part as a guide for the temple in which he worked. His English was really quite good, and yet he had never left India to study elsewhere. In case, the images and links that I provide for this small but worthwhile stop may encourage you to put Osian on the map.
