The 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. This golden chamber of the temple uses 1000 kg of gold to carve out depiction of Ayodhya.
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 Soni family of Ajmer.

Not much to see in Ajmer but a visit to this Jain temple is absolutely worth a short stop. The psychedelic Golden reconstruction of the saint saga is spectacular and unique. You’ll be able to visit this place with only a few other tourists and for a symbolic entrance fee. There are explanations in English.
