From the table it is observed and we come to the conclusion that:
The Jainism caves were more engineered and have artistic qualities at that point
of time.
Scale of the Jain caves size is less than human scale, which follows Jainism's belief in inner spiritual qualities, and it got followed in the future temple Architecture also. Scale of Jain temples is comparatively lesser than that of other religious buildings.
b. The concept of Jal mandir came from the reference of creation of pond due to
removal of soil by devotees from where Lord Mahaviar had cremated. After that, a Jain temple was constructed in the middle of the pond appropriately named as 'Jal-Mandir'. The style was later adopted in Sikh religion (Golden
Temple). c. The circular open-air theatre of Samosaran temple evolved from the Jain
practice of oral preaching regularly conducted by the Tirthankars, with devotees sitting all around Him. The central statue installed in name of the Tirthankar faces all the cardinal points. Such a structure is not found in any other religion
and is native to Jain religion as symbolism. d. Manastambha, a free-satnding pillar with the idols of four-faced Tirthankar is
unique and distinct feature of Jain Architecture. e. Tunk is a small enclosure constructed with marble. Inside the tunk footprint
idols of Tirthankar is installed. This is a unique architectural feature -"enclosure
with intricately carved marble” is present in Jain Architecture. f. Intricate carving with marble and plaster in the interior and exterior of temples
is an inherent characteristic of Jain Architecture.
From the above, it can be said that there is no impact of Jain religion on Jain Architecture. It moved on a parallel way with the other contemporary Indian religious Architecture for its style. Therefore, other contemporary religious Architecture influenced the style of Jain Architecture. A number of pilgrimage sites are available in the region with the examples like Jal Mandir, Samosaran, Manastambha and intricate carving in the temples. All such structures are result of religious belief and unique in nature but their elements are borrowed from the contemporary Indian Architecture. It
