Sri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir

Directly across the Red fort stands the oldest Jain temple in India, the Sri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir built in 1656. It’s often referred to as ‘Lal Mandir’ or the Red Temple. The temple is made of red sandstone and its interiors are adorned with beautiful carvings, pure gold artwork and paintwork. There is a devotional hall at the first floor of the temple. The temple complex also has a book store where a wide collection of Jainism literature is available. The temple is also famous for a unique bird medical center in its complex which is ‘the bird’s hospital’ which is inspired by Lord Mahavir’s message of ‘Live and let live’.
