Udaipur to Rishabhadev Cabs

Udaipur to Rishabhadev Cabs

Rishabhadev – also written Rikhabdeo, and known to pilgrims as Kesariyaji – sits about 65 km south of Udaipur on the Ahmedabad highway, roughly an hour and a half away. The temple there is dedicated to Rishabhdev, the first Jain Tirthankara, and the idol is carved from black stone, which is why it is also called Kala Baba.

What makes the shrine unusual is who worships there. It is a major Jain pilgrimage site, but it is also deeply revered by the local Bhil and Meena tribal communities, who know the deity as Kalaji and have their own long tradition of worship at it. Few temples in Rajasthan are shared quite so completely across communities.

Route Facts

At the Temple

The name Kesariyaji comes from kesar – saffron – which devotees offer to the idol in large quantities, and the shrine is often described as being covered in it. The temple complex is a walled enclosure with the main shrine at its centre and smaller shrines around it, and the architecture is plainer than Ranakpur or Dilwara; the significance here is devotional rather than architectural.

Practical notes: dress modestly, leather items are generally not permitted inside, and photography may be restricted in the inner shrine. Darshan timings follow a morning and evening pattern with a midday break, and they shift with the season, so it is worth checking for your date. The annual Kesariyaji fair draws very large crowds, mostly from the tribal communities of the region, and the town is a different place entirely during it.

Combining the Trip

Rishabhadev is a half day on its own. Two ways people extend it:

• As a stop on the way to Ahmedabad. It is directly on the NH48 corridor south, so it costs you an hour and a half rather than a separate day. See our Udaipur to Ahmedabad taxi page.
• With Jaisamand Lake. About 50 km east of Rishabhadev, Jaisamand is one of the largest artificial lakes in Asia, with an island and a wildlife sanctuary. The two together make a full and unhurried day south of Udaipur.

For the Jain temple circuit proper, Ranakpur north of Udaipur is the architectural highlight – see our Kumbhalgarh and Ranakpur day tour.
