The Varanga Lake Jain Temple is truly a hidden gem! Situated in the middle of the lake, it exudes an aura of serenity and beauty that's unlike any other. Our visit, unfortunately, coincided with the temple's closure at 2pm, but it was still a memorable experience. I was fascinated to learn about the unique tradition of discussing marriage at this temple and the significance of the Prasad for predicting the quality of married life. Although we couldn't explore the Varanga Lake Jain Temple, the nearby ancient Jain temple near the parking area was a delightful alternative. Its rich history and intricate beauty provided a glimpse into the cultural and spiritual heritage of the region. If you're in the area, these temples are well worth a visit, offering a truly unique and enriching experience.

Wonderful !! Its a unique temple built exactly in the middle of lake and sorrouding landscape makes it even more beautiful There is on more ancient basadi at the entrance and good thing is separate jain matt is incharge of these rather than biased govt treasure dept. That's is why it is maintained well. Note: Boating is required to enter this temple and need to wait until its available from other side. Timings - 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM
