    Jain temples in Kolkata

    6 months ago 134

    Here are some well-known Jain temples in Kolkata (both Śvetāmbara and Digambar). I’ll keep it simple and focus on the main ones:

    1. Kolkata Jain (Parshwanath) Temple – Maniktala / Gouribari (Śvetāmbara)

    - Very famous glass-and-mirror Jain temple complex in North Kolkata. ( en.wikipedia.org) - Main Bhagwans: Shitalnath, Chandraprabhu, Mahavir and a Dadabari with charan of Jain acharyas. ( en.wikipedia.org) - Area: Near Shobhabazar–Shyambazar, on/around Gouri Bari Lane, often just called “Jain Mandir, Maniktala”.

    1. Shree Digambar Jain Parshvanath Upvan Mandir – Belgachia (Digambar)

    - Big Digambar Pareshnath temple with a beautiful garden, pond and an 81‑ft Manastambha. ( en.wikipedia.org) - Area: Belgachia Road, near Belgachia Metro. - Important tirth for Digambar Jains of Eastern India.

    1. Shri Digambar Jain Naya Mandir – Rabindra Sarani / Bara Bazar (Digambar)

    - Older Digambar temple (early 1900s), full marble interior with artistic pillars. ( jainstavan.in) - Main Bhagwans: Adinath and Chandraprabhu. - Area: Around Rabindra Sarani in Burrabazar (Barabazar) locality.

    1. Swetambar Jain Temple – Bara Bazar (Śvetāmbara)

    - Śvetāmbara temple in the main business area (Barabazar). - Often simply called “Swetambar Jain Temple, Bara Bazar”. ( mandir.jinvani.in)

    1. Shri Parshvanath Jain Śvetāmbara Mandir – Ballygunge (Śvetāmbara)

    - Śvetāmbara temple in South Kolkata. ( jainmandir.org) - Area: Motilal Nehru Road, Ballygunge (near ISKCON Guest House side).

    1. Jain Śvetāmbara Dadabari – near Maniktala (Śvetāmbara, Dadabari)

    - Known as Jain Shwetambar Dadaji’s Temple & Garden (Dadabari), close to the Maniktala Parshwanath complex. ( jain-shwetambar-dadaji-s-temple-garden-dadabari.wheree.com) - Peaceful garden setting; charan and shrine of Dada Guru.

    How to use this info

    • For North Kolkata stay/visit: Maniktala–Shyambazar belt has the big Kolkata Jain (Parshwanath) Temple, Dadabari, and Belgachia Digambar Mandir nearby.
    • For Central/market area: Barabazar has both Śvetāmbara and Digambar temples.
    • For South Kolkata: Ballygunge Śvetāmbara temple is convenient.

    For exact timings and dress/puja rules, it’s best to call the temple or check quickly online just before visiting, as some Kolkata Jain temples restrict entry inside garbhagriha for non-Jains.
