The oldest Jain temple in Delhi, said to be built during the rule of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1656. The temple compound also has a bird hospital, which treats about 15,000 birds a year. There is also a bookstore in the complex where a wide range of books on Jainism is available, apart from unique curios and souvenirs related to the religion. You should take off your shoes and all other leather goods and hand it to the concerned person before you enter the temple complex.
