Sri Devsagar Singhee Jain Mandir
A masterpiece of Marwari craftsmanship
Overview
The Sri Devsagar Singhee Jain Mandir is one of Sujangarh's most treasured heritage sites. Built over a century ago by the affluent Singhee family of Marwari merchants, this Jain temple is dedicated to Lord Parswanath, the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism.
What sets this temple apart is its stunning interior decoration — every surface is adorned with gold leaf work, delicate mirror inlay (mosaic), and intricately carved white marble. The ceiling features elaborate floral and geometric patterns that shimmer in the light of crystal chandeliers.
