How JainSthal Works

Search by name from the header, or use the filters on the home page to narrow by state, category, or idol age. Prefer a map? Switch to Map view to see every temple plotted by location.

• •Search box in the header jumps straight to matching temples
• •Home page filters: state, category (Digambar / Shwetambar, Atishay Kshetra, etc.), and idol age range
• •Map view plots every documented temple — verified listings are marked
• •Every temple page is available in English and Hindi — switch anytime with the toggle top-right

Prefer to listen instead of read? Tap Listen on any temple page to have its story read aloud, section by section.

• •Works entirely in your browser — no login, no download
• •Read the whole page, or just one section at a time
• •Pause, resume, or restart anytime while listening

Tap the heart on any temple card or temple page to save it. Your saved temples live in one place, so you can find them again without searching.

• •Heart icon on temple cards and temple pages
• •Saved list under Favorites in your account menu
• •Un-favorite anytime — nothing else is affected

Mark a temple as visited and keep short personal notes about the trip — what you saw, who you went with, anything worth remembering.

• •Mark a temple visited from its page or from My Pilgrimage
• •Up to 3 notes per temple, 2000 characters each
• •Edit or delete any note anytime — it's yours
• •Your notes are private to you; they don't appear on the public temple page
