Description: Rishabhdeo Jain temple Rishabhdeo (aka Dhulev) is a town in the state of Rajasthan, India. It is a well-known Jain pilgrim site. The main attraction is the temple of Rishabhadeoji, the first Jain tirthankara. Local Bhils also worship the deity. Lord Rishabhadeo is also "Kesariaji" because a large offering of saffron (keshar, a common ingredient in Jain rituals) is made to the deity. This temple was considered to be one of the four main religious institutions of Mewar. The main idol of this temple is Lord Rishabh Dev, carved in black stone in padmasana posture, about 1.1 m tall.
