See the interiors of the famous Ajmer Jain Temple, also known as Soniji Ki Nasiyan, in Ajmer, in Rajasthan.
Soniji ki Nasiyan aka Ajmer Jain Temple is dedicated to Lord Rishabhdev constructed in the 19th century.
Ajmer is important on the map of Jain religious destinations, chiefly for the 19th-century ‘Golden Temple’ (Soniji Ki Nasiyan Mandir). The two storey temple hall of the Soniji Ki Nasiyan Mandir is unique, as a red-sandstone building with a three-dimensional model of 13 of the Jain earth's continents and oceans, with golden Mount Sumeru at the center. Jain astronomy believes that constellations move in eternity. This structure contains scenes from the golden city of Ayodha, birth place of Lord Rishabhdev.

Ajmer Jain Temple, also known as Soniji Ki Nasiyan, is an architecturally rich Jain temple. It was built in the late nineteenth century. The main chamber, known as the Swarna Nagari "City of Gold", has several gold-plated wooden figures, depicting several figures in the Jain religion.
Kurt Titze, in his book, "Jainism: A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence" (1998, p. 143), writes on Soniji Ki Nasiyan
"Ajmer's main attraction is - for the Jainas - the prominently situated Nasiayan Digambara Temple, or rather the two-storied Svarana Nagara Hall behind the temple, better known as the Museum. Both the temple and the museum were built and are still owned by the Sony family of Ajmer. The temple, dedicated to Rishabha or Adinatha in 1865, was constructed of red sandstone in a matter of a few years, but it took twenty-five years, from 1870 to 1895, to fashion - by artisans at Jaipur - the thousands of individual parts required to assemble a three dimensional replica of the story of Rishabha in accordance with an old manuscript by Acharya Jinasena.
The thought to have such a three dimensional model for educational purposes occurred to Seth Moolchand Soni, who was born in 1830, only after the completion of the temple. His death in 1891 prevented him from seeing his ambitious work in its finished state.
