Chulgiri Digambar Jain Temple

Chulgiri Digambar Jain Temple is a revered pilgrimage site located atop a hill in the Aravalli range near Jaipur. Established in 1953 by Acharya Shri Desh Bhushan Ji, this Atishay Kshetra features a prominent 20-foot white marble statue of Lord Mahavir and idols of other Tirthankars. The temple offers panoramic views of Jaipur and serves as a center for meditation and spiritual practice within the Jhalana Leopard Safari area.

Visitors can expect a serene spiritual environment atop a 400-foot hill accessible via a motorable road or a climb of approximately 1,000 steps. The temple complex houses white marble idols including a large statue of Lord Mahavir in Kayotsarga posture and shrines dedicated to Lord Parshvanath. The site provides sweeping views of the Jaipur-Agra highway and surrounding Aravalli hills. The atmosphere is strictly religious with restrictions on photography and casual tourism to maintain sanctity.

Established in 1953 by Acharya Shri Desh Bhushan Ji who sought a tranquil location for meditation. The foundation was laid with the Panch Kalayanak ceremony. In 1966, a seven-foot idol of Lord Parshvanath was consecrated, followed by a 20-foot Mahavir statue in 1982. The site is named after the hill 'Chulgiri' and the area was historically known as Khaniya.

Recognized as an Atishay Kshetra (site of divine events) in the Digambar Jain tradition. It serves as an important pilgrimage center for Jains from Rajasthan and across India, particularly for meditation and tapasya (austerity practices).
