Ranakpur 
                is located in the mountain ranges of Pali district, 23 kms. away 
                from the Phalna railway station. Ranakpur is reached after passing 
                lush green valleys and streams and the heart capturing views drive 
                away any fatigue of the journey. The Ranakpur Jain Temple were 
                built during the reign of the liberal and gifted monarch Rana 
                Kumbha in the 15th century. An enormous basement covers 48,000 
                sq. feet area. There are four subsidiary shrines, twenty four 
                pillared halls and eligibly domes supported by over four hundred 
                columns.  
                 
                The total number of columns is 1,444 all of which are intricately 
                carved no two being alike. The artistically carved nymphs playing 
                the flute in various dance postures at a height of 45 feet are 
                an engrossing sight. In the assembly hall, there are two big bells 
                weighing 108 kgs. whose sound echoes in the entire complex.
