Kanch Mandir

• Kanch Mandir aka the Temple of Glass is not just a religious place, but also one of the top historical places to visit in Indore. 
• This famous Jain temple, built around 1903, boasts of a history of over 100 years. 
• The place was constructed by Shri Seth Hukam Chand, who was an industrial pioneer and renowned leader of the Jain community.
• The exteriors of the temple look like a medieval mansion and feature a shikhara and a canopied balcony. 
• The interiors, however, are fully decorated with mirrors, Chinese glass lamps, and glass panels. And that’s where the temple gets its name from. 
• The structure of the temple and its ornamentation feature medieval and old Jain style. 
• The temple also has the idols of the Thirthankaras installed inside it, with mirrors placed on both sides. 
• Artisans were brought in from Jaipur and even Iran by Shri Seth Hukam Chand to complete the construction and ornamentation of the temple.
