This
holy Mountain lies at the southern extremity of the Aravalli range.
Surrounded by forests rich in flora and fauna, the town appears an oasis.
The drive uphill along Abu Road overlooks an arid region strewn by huge
rocks with smooth surfaces and weird shapes, both fashioned by high
velocity winds.
These
temples built between 11th and the 13th centuries, are famous for their
rich intricate carvings in marble. The Jain temples at Dilwara, near
Mount Abu are considered to be masterpieces of temple architecture.
The Vimalvashi Temple was built by the commander Vimalshah on the order
of King Bhimdev in 1031 A.D. It took around 1,500 workers, several years
to build. There are total forty eight pillars out of which sixteen pillars
have the images of females figures in dancing poses. The rang mandap
is a beautiful piece of architecture. The images that can be seen are
Saraswati, Lakshmi as well as scenes from the princely courts of Ayodhya
and Takshashila. Navchauki is a platform divided into nine parts. The
artistic roots are decorated with elephants and Goddesses. Lunvasahi
temple has the image of the Jain tirthankara Neminath. Sculptures in
stone, elaborate carvings, beautiful pillars, dome shaped roofs give
a majestic and surreal look to the temple. There are sixteen images
of the Goddess of knowledge and
also carved are glimpses from Lord Krishnas life. The footsteps of Dada
Sahab and the kirti Stambha are also worth a mention. Apart from these,
the temples dedicated to Rishabhdev, Parshvanath and Lord Mahavir are
also classical examples of art.
