      The Adinath Temple of Ranakpur in the Indian state of Rajasthan is one of the most important Jain temples in the subcontinent.
      The Adinath Temple is located in a wooded valley in the middle of rather dry hills in the village of Ranakpur, almost 95 km (driving distance) northwest of the city of Udaipur at an altitude of approx. 485 m. The dammed river flows nearby, approx. 1.5 km north of the town Stream Sukri, which only carries water after heavy or prolonged rainfall.
      According to an inscription on a copper plate, the construction of the temple dates back to a dream of the businessman Dharna Shah, who commissioned it around 1430; It therefore dates back to the time of Maharana Kumbha (r. 1433–1468), the prince of Mewar who resided in Udaipur. The temple was completed in 1458. In the 17th century it was almost forgotten; Gangs of robbers (dacoits) were up to mischief in the area. Restorations were only carried out around the middle of the 20th century.
