jain temple
A sacred place dedicated to worship and religious ritual in the Jain tradition.
A Jain temple is a sacred structure for worship and ritual in Jainism, primarily in India.
The dedication to Jain religious practice establishes the use. Its location can be outside India as well as within it.
A particular size or architectural style is not required. The worship and ritual function distinguishes the temple from a secular display of Jain art.
