Katraj Jain Temple:-
Site Review : Katraj Jain Temple is on the Pune-Satara Highway and is set on a hilltop , from where we can get a superb view of city of Pune. There is a golden shaded panch-dhatu idol of Lord Mahavir, in Padmasan, a sitting position which is 12 ft tall and weighs about 5000 kg. A separate temple of Parshwanath Bhagwan called, Jal Mandir (Water Temple), lies behind the main temple , which is also made of panch-dhatu, with 8 ft tall and 3000 kg weight.
Historical Information: Katraj Jain Temple contains 24 tirthankars idols. There are idols of Bhagwan Mahaveer, Bhagwan Parshwnath and goddess Padmavati. The main temple is surrounded by four small Jain god temples. All the walls on outer temples have some Jain scripts (stotra) written in Pali and Prakrit languages. Whole atmosphere is very calm & peaceful.
