History of this Temple
Delwara Jain Temple was built by Vimal Shah in the 11th and 13th centuries AD and was designed by Vastupal-Tejpal, the Jain ministers of Dholka. These temples are known for their intricate marble carvings. The most surprising thing about this temple is that at that time there was no facility to carry such huge blocks of marble at a height of 1200 meters. Then elephants were used to carry marble from Ambaji to Mount Abu on their backs.
