Accepted Answer

It is a Jain temple, specifically a Digambar Jain temple, one of the two main traditions of Jainism.

Jambu Swami is revered as the last Kevali of this age, the final being of this era to reach this supreme state. We describe this respectfully as a belief and teaching of the Jain tradition.

Question 11

Where did Jambu Swami attain nirvana?

Accepted Answer

By the Jain tradition, Jambu Swami attained nirvana, liberation, here at Mathura and it is to mark and honour this that the Mathura Chaurasi Digamber Jain Temple was built by the Mathura Jain community. This is why the temple is revered as a siddha kshetra, a place of liberation. We recount this as the belief and tradition of the Jain community, held with faith, rather than as documented historical fact.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

Enshrining his sacred footprints, the charan, alongside the deity Ajitnath, the temple keeps his memory and the ideal of liberation he embodies. As the nirvana site of the last omniscient being of this age, it is revered as a siddha kshetra, a place of liberation.

Question 13

Who came before Jambu Swami in the Jain tradition?

Accepted Answer

In the Jain tradition, Jambu Swami came after Mahavira, the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankara of this age, in the line of great teachers and is revered as the last Kevali, the final omniscient being of this era to attain liberation. He is traditionally counted among the immediate successors who carried Mahavira's teaching forward. We present this lineage respectfully as it is held in the Jain tradition.

Question 14

Whose footprints are enshrined at the temple?

Accepted Answer

The charan, the sacred footprints, of Jambu Swami, the last Kevali, are enshrined at the temple, honouring him at the site of his nirvana, alongside the main deity Ajitnath. In the Jain and wider Indian tradition, the charan of a great liberated being are revered as sacred, marking their presence and their attainment. The charan of Jambu Swami are thus a central object of veneration at the Chaurasi temple, at his nirvana site.

Question 15

What is a siddha kshetra?

Such sites are among the holiest places of Jain pilgrimage. The Mathura Chaurasi temple is revered as a siddha kshetra because Jambu Swami, the last Kevali, is believed to have attained nirvana there. We describe this respectfully as a belief and teaching of the Jain tradition.

Question 16

Who is Ajitnath, the temple's main deity?

Accepted Answer

Ajitnath is the second of the twenty-four Tirthankaras of the Jain tradition, the great enlightened teachers who show the path to liberation and he is the main deity of the Mathura Chaurasi temple, enshrined as a white-stone idol. In the Jain tradition, the Tirthankaras are supremely revered as those who have conquered the cycle of rebirth and shown the way to others. Ajitnath's idol is the principal image of worship at the temple.

Question 17

What is the idol of Ajitnath made of?

Accepted Answer

The idol of Ajitnath at the Mathura Chaurasi temple is carved of white stone and by the tradition of the temple it was discovered during a land excavation. White-stone and marble idols, serene and unadorned in the Digambar manner, are characteristic of Jain temple deities. The white idol of Ajitnath is the serene focus of worship at the temple, enshrined alongside the sacred footprints of Jambu Swami.

The whole is serene, spacious and devotional, set on the edge of the city near the Yamuna.

Question 20

Accepted Answer

Yes; the walls of the Mathura Chaurasi temple are adorned with colourful paintings and inscriptions of Jain culture and art, depicting the tradition's stories, teachers and teachings, adding beauty and meaning to the temple.

Yes; the temple is set on a wide expanse of land with a beautiful garden surrounding it, on the outskirts of Mathura near the Yamuna, which adds to its serene and peaceful atmosphere. The gardens make the temple a calm and lovely place to spend an unhurried hour or two, quite different from the bustle of the great Krishna temples in the city centre. The green, spacious setting is part of the temple's appeal.

Question 22

How big is the temple?

Accepted Answer

The Mathura Chaurasi temple is built across a wide expanse of land on the outskirts of Mathura, with a large hall able to hold many hundreds of devotees, several hundred, during rituals and gatherings, along with the shrines, the surrounding garden and facilities for pilgrims. It is a spacious, serene complex rather than a small shrine, giving it a calm and uncrowded feel. Its scale and gardens make it a peaceful place to visit.

Question 23

Is Bahubali honoured at the temple?

Accepted Answer

Yes; the temple holds an image of Bahubali, a deeply revered figure in the Jain tradition, honoured as among the first to attain liberation, kevala jnana, in this age, alongside the image of Jambu Swami, revered as the last Kevali. So the temple links the early and the last of the great liberated beings of this era. Bahubali, famed for his deep meditation and renunciation, is one of the most beloved figures in Jainism.

Question 24

Was Mathura an important place for Jainism?

Accepted Answer

Yes; Mathura was one of the great centres of Jainism in ancient India, over two thousand years ago and the famous archaeological mound of Kankali Tila yielded a wealth of ancient Jain sculptures, inscriptions and the remains of an ancient Jain stupa, among the most important early Jain finds in India. So Mathura's Jain heritage is deep and ancient, alongside its fame as the birthplace of Krishna. The Chaurasi temple continues this long Jain presence in the city.

Question 25

What is Kankali Tila?

Accepted Answer

Kankali Tila is a famous archaeological mound in Mathura that yielded a remarkable wealth of ancient Jain art, sculptures, inscriptions and the remains of an ancient Jain stupa, dating back around two thousand years, among the most important early Jain finds in India. These antiquities, now in Mathura's museum and beyond, reveal Mathura's standing as a great centre of Jainism in ancient times, a heritage the Chaurasi temple continues in the city today.

Question 26

Can I see Jain art in Mathura's museum?

Accepted Answer

Yes; the Government Museum of Mathura, famous for its collection of the Mathura school of art, holds important Jain antiquities, including sculptures and remains from the ancient Jain site of Kankali Tila, alongside its celebrated Hindu and Buddhist works. So a visit to the museum, combined with the Chaurasi Jain temple, gives a fuller picture of Mathura's ancient and living Jain heritage. Our places-to-visit guide covers the museum and the city's other sights.

Question 27

Is Mathura sacred to more than one religion?

Accepted Answer

Yes; while Mathura is world-famous as the birthplace of Krishna, sacred to Hindus, it is also an ancient and important centre for Jains, with a deep heritage reaching back over two thousand years, seen in the finds at Kankali Tila and in living temples like the Chaurasi Jain temple. It was significant in Buddhist history too. So Mathura is a city of shared and layered sacred heritage across faiths, of which the Chaurasi temple is a living Jain part.

Question 28

Why is the Chaurasi temple important for Jains?

Accepted Answer

It is important as a siddha kshetra, a place of liberation, revered because Jambu Swami, the last Kevali, is believed to have attained nirvana there. Siddha kshetras, sites where great souls attained moksha, are among the holiest places of Jain pilgrimage and this temple, marking the liberation of the final omniscient being of this age, holds a special place among them. For Jains, it is a deeply sacred pilgrimage site. We present its significance as the Jain tradition holds it.

Question 29

What is moksha in Jainism?

Accepted Answer

In the Jain tradition, moksha is liberation, the soul's complete freedom from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, attained by destroying all the karmas that bind it, through right faith, knowledge and conduct and above all non-violence and self-discipline. It is the highest spiritual goal. Jambu Swami is revered as the last being of this age to attain moksha, which is why his nirvana site, the Chaurasi temple, is so sacred. We describe this respectfully as a Jain teaching.

Question 30

Is the temple a place of pilgrimage?

Accepted Answer

Yes; as a siddha kshetra marking the nirvana site of Jambu Swami, the last Kevali, the Mathura Chaurasi temple is a revered Jain pilgrimage site, drawing Jain pilgrims who come to honour Jambu Swami and take darshan of the deity Ajitnath and the other revered figures. It also welcomes visitors of any background interested in the Jain tradition and Mathura's fuller heritage. Its serene setting and sacred significance make it a meaningful pilgrimage destination.

Question 31

What are the values of the Jain tradition seen here?

Accepted Answer

The Jain tradition, which the temple embodies, holds among its highest ideals non-violence, ahimsa, toward all living beings, truth, self-discipline, non-attachment and the pursuit of liberation of the soul through right faith, knowledge and conduct. The Tirthankaras and Kevalis honoured at the temple, from Ajitnath to Jambu Swami, exemplify these ideals. For visitors, the temple is a place to encounter these profound values of Jainism. We present them respectfully as the tradition's own teachings.

Question 32

What does Digambar mean?

Accepted Answer

Digambar, meaning sky-clad, is one of the two main traditions of Jainism, the other being Svetambar, white-clad. The names refer to a difference in monastic practice regarding clothing, reflecting differing views on renunciation, along with some other distinctions in tradition and texts. The Mathura Chaurasi temple is a Digambar Jain temple and its deities are enshrined in the serene, unadorned Digambar manner. We describe this respectfully as a feature of the Jain tradition.

Question 33

Who are the Tirthankaras?

Accepted Answer

In the Jain tradition, the Tirthankaras are the twenty-four great enlightened teachers of this age who, having attained liberation themselves, show others the path across the ocean of worldly existence to moksha. They include Rishabhanatha, the first; Ajitnath, the second, the main deity here; and Mahavira, the twenty-fourth and last. They are supremely revered in Jainism. Several Tirthankaras are honoured at the Chaurasi temple, with Ajitnath as its principal deity. We describe them respectfully as the tradition holds them.

Question 34

Who was Mahavira?

Accepted Answer

Mahavira is revered in the Jain tradition as the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankara of this age, the great teacher whose life and teachings shaped Jainism as it is known today, emphasising non-violence, truth and liberation. Jambu Swami, honoured at the Mathura Chaurasi temple, is revered as the last Kevali who came after Mahavira. An image of Mahavira is among those enshrined at the temple. We describe him respectfully as the Jain tradition holds him.

Question 35

Can non-Jains visit the temple?

Accepted Answer

Yes; visitors of any background are generally welcome to visit the Mathura Chaurasi Jain temple in a respectful spirit, to take in its serene deities, its Jain art and its peaceful gardens and to learn about the Jain tradition and Mathura's heritage.

Question 38

What is the best time to visit the temple?

Accepted Answer

The best time is the cool season, from around October to March, when Mathura's weather is pleasant for sightseeing, avoiding the fierce summer heat; the deep-winter months of December and January can be quite cold, so pack warm layers if you visit then. As the temple is calm and rarely crowded, any time in the cool season is comfortable and you can enjoy the serene deities and gardens at leisure. Within the day, mornings and evenings are especially pleasant.

Question 39

How much time should I spend at the temple?

Accepted Answer

An hour or two is enough to take darshan of the deities, see the shrines and the Jain art and enjoy the peaceful gardens, though you may linger longer in the calm atmosphere. As the temple is serene and uncrowded, it is a place to slow down and reflect rather than rush. Combined with Mathura's other sights, it fits comfortably into a sightseeing day in the city, adding a peaceful and different dimension to it.

Question 40

Is the temple crowded?

Accepted Answer

Generally no; compared with the great Krishna temples of Mathura, the Chaurasi Jain temple is calm and uncrowded, a serene and spacious place set in gardens on the edge of the city, which is part of its appeal. It can be busier during Jain festivals and on special occasions, when pilgrims gather, but on ordinary days it is peaceful. For a quiet, contemplative visit, it is one of the calmest sacred places in the city.
