Manuabhan Tekri Jain Temple

Manuabhan Tekri Jain Temple is a prominent Jain pilgrimage complex situated on a hillock in Lalghati, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Overlooking the Upper Lake (Bhojtal), the site comprises several white marble Jain temples dedicated to Lord Mahavira and other Tirthankaras. Known for its panoramic city and lake views, peaceful environment and distinctive architecture, it is a significant religious and sightseeing destination in Bhopal attracting devotees and tourists.

Visitors can expect a hilltop Jain temple complex reached by climbing steps, with white marble shrines, idols of Jain Tirthankaras, and open courtyards. The hill offers panoramic views of Bhopal city and the Upper Lake, especially at sunrise and sunset. The surroundings are quiet and landscaped, with areas for prayer, meditation and sightseeing. The site combines religious architecture with a scenic viewpoint experience.

The Manuabhan Tekri complex was developed in the late 20th century as a Jain pilgrimage centre on Manuabhan hill in Bhopal. It enshrines idols of Lord Mahavira and other Jain Tirthankaras and has since grown into a notable Jain religious site in central India, with multiple shrines built in white marble in traditional Jain style.

The temple is an important centre for Jain worship, festivals and community gatherings, particularly during Mahavir Jayanti. It reflects Jain architectural and devotional traditions and serves as a place for prayer, meditation and religious observance while also being a cultural landmark for visitors to Bhopal.
