Lodurva is the ancient capital of Bhattis Rajputs and was once a flourishing city but lost most of the splendor when the Bhattis shifted their capital to Jaisalmer. Nevertheless this place is a major tourist attraction and attracts a lot of attention due to ruins of Jain temples. The most mesmerizing experience will be the peacock dance amid exotic Lodurva ruins. Yes, Peacocks are a great pull and they are in plenty here.
Lodurva is also known for its Jain temples. The temples are made of bright yellow sandstones. Though in ruins, the splendors of these Jain temples are clearly visible. You will find temple walls decorated with the pictures of Lord Parsvanath, the 23rd Jain Tirthankar. The beautiful Jaali works make these temples a piece of marvel.

Parshwanath Temple history
The temple was damaged in 1152, but Seth Tharu Shah rebuilt it in 1615. Later, in 1675 and 1687, more expansions were ordered. A black statue of Parshvanath can be found in the temple's inner sanctum.
A snake represents this temple's presiding god. Parshvanath Tirthankara is depicted as being covered by a single hood made up of 100 snakes when seated in the Padmasana position. One piece of black Kasauti stone was used to cut the complete statue. On a white marble frame, there are carved human and animal figures all around it. You won't be able to take your eyes off it due to its aura and mystique.
