Jaisalmer and its surroundings have some interesting Jain temples. Jainism was founded by a contemporary of Buddha who revolted against Hindu ritualism. Its followers revere 24 tirthankaras, finders of the path, images of whom appear liberally throughout their temples.

Members of one of the temples at Ludrava feed a large flock of wild peacocks in the morning. In addition to the images below, more pictures of this colorful gathering can be found at:
