Being the financers of Rajputs, the rich and influential Jain
community was given full religious liberty; and they built many temples in and
around Jaisalmer. With in the fort walls are a group of beautifully carved Jain
Temples built between 12th and 15th centuries - dedicated to Rikhabdev and
Sambhavanth.
Lodurva - Northwest of Jaisalmer, Lodurva is an
important centre of Jain Pilgrimage. It was the Lodurva Fort that Rawal Jaisal
abandoned and shifted to his new capital. Ruins of the ancient township can be
seen here.
