Come on Raja ji.. U know I was being funnny... I think I know they have been there for a thousand of years.. I visited a few meself when I came to India this Jan.. went to Rajasthan.... and man the Jain Temple there is just stunning... my irish friend cudnt believe it that was constructed 1014 years ago , me neither.. the art beauty of it was amazing.. pure white marble...attention to detail.
the priests there are the guides too.. very well protected and preserved .
its in Mt Abu. but its a shame they wont let anyone take picturers !!
