The multifarious yet united outlook of the city of Kolkata is evident from the variety of places of worship which have coexisted since centuries. The Parashnath Jain Temple located at the northeast of the city of Kolkata is one such example. The temple has been standing proudly since its construction in 1867 by Ray Badridas Bahadur, an art connoisseur.
The temple adorned by beautiful mirrors arrangements and colored stones fixed on the walls. The Parashnath Jain temple also plays host to a small museum which holds few memorabilia of Jainism and literature regarding the religion. The temple surroundings have been decorated using stained glass, marble floor and exquisite European style statues in the adjoining garden.
