The Dilwara Temples near Mount Abu are considered some of the finest examples of Jain temple architecture in the world. Built between the 11th and 13th centuries, these five marble temples feature extraordinarily intricate carvings where every surface of the white marble is decorated with delicate lacework, floral patterns, and figurative sculptures. The temples took over 14 years to complete.
