Jain Temple in India (INDIA)
In India , one of the things you have to do is visit a Jain Temple for two reasons: The different architecture of the temples. And secondly , to solve the mystery of why the followers cover their mouths and always walk looking down on the ground.
Some of the Jain Temples such as the Dilwara, are even compared to the Taj Mahal.
The innumerable Jain Shrines that dot in India speak of a myriad intimate association with the lives and activities of the Jain Tirthankars (Jain religious preachers), who spread the message of peace, non violence, love and enlightenment.
It is this that has attracted and moulded the sentiments of millions of people across the nation as well as the world. Today, around 3.2 million Jain devotees live in India. India holds immense attraction for all those who desire to see the great Jain architectural splendour, and to know and understand the teachings of the great Tirthankars- the liberated souls who, through hard penance, freed themselves from the cycle of birth and rebirth. And, offered to humanity the recourse to salvation, freedom from the ocean of Phenomenal
Existence and liberation from the Cycle of rebirth through Jainism.
The essence of this great religion and its preaching is palpable in the cave temples, in the elaborately decorated carved stones and in the numerous illustrated manuscripts. Spread across Uttar Pradesh, these religious places are some of the best destination options for tourists and pilgrims. To explore history, religion, art and culture of the Jains in a state of pure bliss.
The devotees of Jain religion cover their mouth because they do not want to harm even a small fly that can accidentally enter their mouth. And the reason they always look down to the ground by accident is not to step on a bug without knowing.
By visiting a Jain temple and talking to it’s devotees, you get the feeling that while there are such considerate people even caring about the lives of the smallest creatures around , the World still has a chance to become a better place.
