The Dilwara Jain Temples Poem by Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer

If I ask you
Which is the most beautiful architecture
Made of white marble in the world?

Your answer may be different from my opinion
You will say something else
But I say none other, only and only
The Dilwara Jain Temples!

We have to praise the mind of
The Ruler Vimal Shah of Chalukya Dynasty
In eleventh century
When thinking like this was too difficult
Then he proved it to be true
It's a challenge even for today's artisans
Such beautiful artwork
Point that, by followers of the Jainism faith
The complex consists of five temples
Built at different times in history
Between eleventh and thirteenth centuries.

Temples are located in Mount Abu
Rajasthan's only hill station
When I think, in that era
How would have such big blocks of marble
Been transported at a height
Of twelve hundred meters
I feel compelled to say
This work is divine, wonderful & incredible!

If you want to see the grace and elegance of art
If you want to feel high level spirituality
If you want to linger in divinity
Then you must go there once!
