    History

    The history of Shatrunjaya Hill dates back to the 11th century, with construction of the temples spanning several centuries. The earliest temples are believed to have been built during the reign of the Chaulukya dynasty. Subsequent rulers and wealthy Jain merchants contributed to the expansion and renovation of the temple complex. Throughout its history, the hill has faced destruction and reconstruction, notably during Muslim invasions. Despite these challenges, the Jain community has diligently preserved and restored the temples, maintaining their architectural integrity and religious significance. The continuous building and rebuilding over centuries reflect the deep devotion and unwavering faith of the Jain community.
