Ranakpur Jain Temple
Located 56 Km from Bera and 1.5 hr Drive Local legend said that Dharma Shah, a local Jain businessperson, started construction of the temple in the 15th century following a divine vision. The temple honors Adinath, the first Tirthankar and founder of the Jain religion. The town of Ranakpur and the temple are named after the provincial ruler monarch, Rana Kumbha who supported the construction of the temple.
The construction is well documented in a 1437 CE copper-plate record, inscriptions in the temple and a Sanskrit text Soma-Saubhagya Kavya.Inspired by a dream of a celestial vehicle, Dhanna Shah, from Ghanerao a Porwal, commenced its construction, under the patronage of Rana Kumbha, then ruler of Mewar. The architect who oversaw the project was named Deepaka. There is an inscription on a pillar near the main shrine stating that in 1439 Deepaka, an architect constructed the temple at the direction of Dharanka, a devoted Jain.
What travellers say about us
Ereze Yakobi
We had an amazing time in jaway Safari! First of all, the landscapes in the sanctuary are incredible. Secondly, we got to see leopards 2 times. Thirdly, the hospitality was great - it is the kind of tours in which you deal with the price in advance and then you don't need to take your wallet out of your pocket any more. They organized great food all throughout the day and we never needed to ask for anything.

If the Jawai trip is on your cards, look no further than Jawai Trails!! We booked a 3 nights package through Mr. Chetan (during Christmas 2022), and everything was smooth and perfect. The safaris were well planned, hotel stay (Leopard Lair) and food was very good and he even arranged for a short day excursion to his own newly built property- Jawai Jewels that offers tent stays and a short nature trail with amazing views. I would definitely recommend Jawai Trails.
