This is a photo of the Luna Vasahi temple’s ceiling. It was taken around 1882-86 by Deen Dayal. The dome shows a lotus in the center, surrounded by circles of patterns and figures. Deen Dayal’s photo captures the temple’s rich marble carvings. The interior contrasts with the plain outside seen in Jain temples. The carvings represent celestial halls for tirthankaras.
