Very briefly:

• Which Jain tradition was prominent in Jaipur in 1893?

- The Digambar Jain tradition had a strong presence around Jaipur, especially in its surrounding tirths and centers such as Sanghiji (Sanganer near Jaipur). The Sanghiji temple is a famous Digambar site with inscriptions dating back many centuries, and the Digambar lineage has been influential in Rajasthan for centuries. You can read more about Sanghiji here .

• Did they create pratima (idols) there?

- In Jaipur region, the Digambar tradition and related tirths are known for venerating Mulnayak idols and for the creation and maintenance of sacred images. A notable example connected to the broader Jaipur area is the Ajmer Teerth (Soniji ki Nasiyan), where a major 19th-century project culminated in a grand display of gold-plated wooden models (the Swarna Nagari) and Mulnayak worship. This work was completed in the late 19th century (announcement and fair around 1895), with the Mulnayak idol installed earlier in 1865. The project involved Jaipur-linked artisans and patrons and is a key example of idol-related devotion and diorama creation associated with that era.
