Digamber Jain Bada Mandir — Attraction in Uttar Pradesh

Visited this place when i was little 2 times. Only one place to go 1-2 temples only ( back then ) ( very much fons of Sumeru Parvat, Jambudweep temples were only their back then, meditation temple was still new when i visited the second. Jambudweep temples main gate was closed and the sign was there of due to Covid-19. No boundaries. Still existed are so many monkeys but not like this.

Although you have to took off your shoes and socks at the entryway of this particular temple, I don't know now about the old ones. Mind to ask for your shoes if you want to go the loo. Mind you these temples don't consider any behaviour tolerance related to young couples flirts or hand in hand whatever we can call, you can be kicked out, I don't know about respectly or not coz didn't saw it myself. Last but not the least, if you are coming from far away, eat something, take something to eat and drink with you because there are no food stall or hotels in nearby and here are stalls of chat and golgappa's/panipuri.

My journey to Hastinapur, a historic city steeped in ancient lore, was a delightful surprise.

I had initially planned a casual day trip from Bijnor but stumbled upon a gem: the Digamber Jain Bada Mandir. This serene temple, nestled amidst the bustling town, offered a tranquil escape from the world outside.

The moment I stepped into the temple, I was enveloped in a sense of peace and tranquility. The intricate carvings on the walls, the serene atmosphere, and the gentle hum of prayers created a truly magical ambiance. The temple's architecture, a blend of traditional Jain and Hindu styles, was a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region.

One of the highlights of my visit was the delicious vegetarian meal served at the temple's canteen. For a mere 60 rupees per person, we were treated to a sumptuous feast that included a variety of dishes, from flavorful curries to delectable sweets. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the quantity was more than enough to satisfy our hunger.

As I sat amidst the peaceful surroundings of the Digamber Jain Bada Mandir, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to experience such a beautiful and spiritually uplifting place. If you're ever in Hastinapur, I highly recommend visiting this temple. It's a perfect spot to relax, rejuvenate, and connect with...
