About

Sri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir is the oldest and most prominent Jain temple in Delhi, India. Located directly across from the Red Fort in the historic Chandni Chowk area, it is an important place of worship for the Jain community. The temple is dedicated to the 23rd Tirthankara, Parshvanatha, and is renowned for its striking red sandstone architecture, which gives it the nickname "Lal Mandir" or "Red Temple." Established in 1656, the temple complex also features a charitable bird hospital that provides care for injured and sick birds, reflecting the Jain principle of Ahimsa, or non-violence.
