As part of our visit to places outside of Udaipur, we made the bumpy car ride to Ranakapur to see a pretty spectacular Jain temple. It was built in 1439, but the key number of the temple is 72 (the age at which Mahavira, the founder of Jainism, reached Nirvana). The temple is 72 yards by 72 yards, and is held up by 1440 pillars (72x20), which surround 72 different shrines. On a scale of 1-100, I would give it a 72.
