[Parshwanath Temple, Kolkata, India] A quiet oasis where you can experience different cultures

A little away from the hustle and bustle of Kolkata, there is a tranquil and beautiful Jain temple that feels like another world. That is Parshwanath Temple. This temple, with its shining white marble, is filled with a sense of quiet and cleanliness that is rare in the city. 👀Highlights✨ 🕊️Soul-cleansing beauty This temple was built by Jains in 1867. The mirror decorations on the walls, stained glass, and delicate carvings are truly works of art. The space is filled with the elegant and quiet aesthetic sense unique to Jainism, and you will feel as if your mind is being purified. 🌿Well-maintained garden The grounds are filled with colorful flowers and well-maintained plantings, giving it an atmosphere like a European garden. Just walking slowly through the lotus-filled ponds and paths will help you forget the busyness of everyday life. 📸Hidden photo spot A hidden photogenic spot where you can take your time taking photos because there are few tourists📷 The contrast between white and green, the interior shining with the light shining through, no matter where you cut it, it's a picture. Basic information📝 📍Access: About 20 minutes by taxi from the center of Kolkata. About 10 minutes by auto rickshaw from Sealdah Station. *Photography is prohibited inside the temple 💰Admission fee: Free 🕰️Opening hours: 6:00-11:30, 15:00-18:00 Parshwanath Temple is a precious spot where you can feel silence and beauty, especially in Kolkata. It is a healing space where Jain philosophy, art, and natural beauty are fused. This is a temple that we highly recommend to those looking for a "special place" that is not a tourist attraction. #India #India travel #India tourism #India trip #Asia travel #Kolkata #Kolkata travel #Kolkata trip #Kolkata tourism #Jainism #Temple tour #Solo travel #Solo female traveller #Absolutely free travel
