जैन मंदिर

Varanasi is not only revered as a sacred city for Hindus and Buddhists but also holds deep spiritual significance for Jains. The city is associated with the birth of four Jain Tirthankaras—Suparshvanath (7th), Chandraprabhu (8th), Shreyanshnath (11th), and Parshvanath (23rd)—which makes it one of the most important destinations for Jain pilgrims. Several ancient and beautifully maintained temples in and around the city continue to preserve this rich legacy.
