Shri Sheetalnath Bhagwan Temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is a Jain temple dedicated to Lord Sheetalnath, the 10th Tirthankara of Jainism. While I don't have specific historical information about this temple, I can provide some general context.
Jainism, one of the oldest religions in the world, originated in ancient India. Over the centuries, Jainism spread to various parts of the world, including Southeast Asia. The Jain diaspora, primarily from India, has established temples and communities in many countries, including Malaysia.
Jain temples outside India often serve as focal points for the local Jain community, providing a place for worship, cultural activities, and social gatherings. These temples typically follow traditional Jain architectural styles and house idols and images of Tirthankaras and other revered figures in Jainism.
