The Dilwara Temples or Delvada Temples are a group of Śvētāmbara Jain temples located about 2+12 kilometres from the Mount Abu settlement in Sirohi District, Rajasthan's only hill station. The earliest were built by Bhima I and supposedly designed or at least financed by Vastupala, Jain minister of Dholka. They date between the 11th and 16th centuries, forming some of the most famous monuments in the style of Māru-Gurjara architecture,[1] famous for their use of a very pure white marble and intricate marble carvings.[2] They are managed by Seth Shri Kalyanji Anandji Pedhi, Sirohi and are a pilgrimage place for Jains, and a significant general tourist attraction.[3] The Dilwara temples are regarded as the most impressive among Jain temples in Rajasthan.[4][5]
