Greyscale capture of the Interior of the Chaumukha Temple, the largest of the Jain Temples at Ranakpur, Rajasthan, India.

The Chaumukha temple has 24 pillared halls with 80 domes that are supported by 400 columns. Each column is intricately carved and no two columns have the same design.

Built in the 15th century, Ranakpur temples are known for being the largest and most important temples of the Jain cult. he temple complex is positioned in an isolated valley on the western side of the Aravalli Range.

The temples were built by Seth Dharna Sah (a Jain businessman) with the aid of Rana Kumbha, who ruled Mewar in the 15th century.

They were constructed in light colored marble and the buildings cover an area of 48000 sq feet. There are more than 1400 exquisitely carved pillars throughout the complex.
