Geography & terrain
Ranakpur lies in the Pali district of Rajasthan, 100 km from Udaipur and 85 km from Jodhpur — the marble temple of the region, its 15th-century hall, the 1,444 pillars and the Jain complex set on the Aravalli's valley.
History & culture
The temple's story runs with the 1439 Jain era — the marble temple of the 1439 founding and the 1,444-pillar hall of the Dharna Shah, with the temple's modern role as the heritage stop of the Udaipur circuit and the home of the 15th-century Chaumukha temple and the 1988-era restoration and the four-faced sanctum; the temple's history of the 16th-century additions and the daily bhojanshala and the marble carving tradition, gives Ranakpur its marble-temple character.
