उत्तर
Jains constructed temples and monasteries. Jain relics are found in Khandagiri and Udaygiri caves in Orissa. Jains have constructed hundreds of Dharamshalas, opened several orphanages and supported many charitable institutions.
The gigantic structures of the Bahubali (Gomatesvvara) at Shravanabelagola and at Karkala in Karnataka are good examples of Jain architecture. The Dihvara temples at Mt.Abu in Rajasthan and at Ranakpur near Jodhpur and the Jain Tower at Chittor are famous for Jain architecture. The most famous Jain holy place is Palitcina in Gujarat which has more than 800 temples.
