Shri Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Lal Mandir

Netaji Subhash Marg, opposite Red Fort, Chandni Chowk, Delhi, 110006

Red-sandstone Jain temple housing an avian hospital treating thousands of injured birds yearly.

This guide to the Lal Mandir in Delhi opens with a legend about Aurangzeb's inspectors sent to silence mysterious drumming inside, and traces the temple's start in sixteen fifty-six as a soldier's tent shrine set up across from the Red Fort. It follows the Jain builders who raised it from red sandstone to match the fort, and the officer whose act of quiet defiance grew into a place of worship.
