Jambudweep Temple-Palitana

       
      This temple has an excellent exhibit on Jain cosmology, describing the intricate divisions of the heavens and the earth, and an individual's passage through the different stages of the universe. There is also an exhibit on Jain mathematics, for anyone intrigued by unusual systems of reasoning, whether a believer or not. It features uncommon units of measure for height, width, weight, time and so forth. The temple is open every day, with a free show every evening at 6pm.
