Jal Mandir is a magnificent temple that is dedicated to Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankar of Jainism. Located in the city of Pawapuri in the Indian state of Bihar, this temple looks like an island as it is surrounded by a large lake filled with holy water. Constructed in white marble and beautifully carved, Jal Mandir portrays the sublime grandeur of Jain architecture. Visitors to the temple can take part in special 'poojas' and enjoy panoramic views from the white marble walkways surrounding the lake. All these features make Jal Mandir one of India's most remarkable pilgrimages sites and a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Bihar.
