A spiritual and architectural gem

set amid the settlement of Rishabhdeo (additionally called Dhulev), just outside Udaipur, awaits a masterpiece of Jain built form – the Rishabhdeo Shrine, additionally revered as Kesariya Ji Tirth. Prepare to be dazzled by this ancient site, a haven for Jain pilgrims and a place of cultural significance for all.

Dedicated to Lord Rishabhadeva, the first Jain Tirthankara (contemplative leader), the Rishabhdeo Place of worship is a meaningful pilgrimage site for Jains of both the Digambara and Swetambara sects. Here, the reverence for Lord Rishabhadeva is so profound that he is too called 'Kesariaji' – a reference to the large offerings of saffron (kesar) made over rituals.
