Ranakpur Jain Temple - India

The Ranakpur Jain Temple is a fabuous site, well worth the visit, a couple hours drive from Udaipur. Built in the 14th or 15th century, this temple was built by 3 generations. Done in marble, with domes and entranes at each of the 4 cardinal directions, it supposedly sports 144 towers and 1444 columns, all intricately carved and unique. The detail is fabulous.
