Mahudiમહુડી

Mahudi is a half-day pilgrimage stop, not a base: visit the Jain temple complex, offer sukhadi and leave. No need to stay overnight.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Mahudi, in North Gujarat, is a Jain pilgrimage centre known for the Mahudi Jain Temple (established 1917) with its marble idol of Padmaprabhu and the shrine of protector deity Ghantakarna Mahavir. Devotees offer sukhadi, a sweet, which is then consumed within the temple complex. The town also has a Krishna temple and a pyramid-shaped Jain temple. Most visitors come from Mehsana, Gandhinagar or Ahmedabad for a few hours.

This is a basic guide for Mahudi: no airport-to-bed path, walking clusters or day plans yet. Fares and schedules here are unverified. What this page does cover
Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
  • India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
  • India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
  • India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.
