Jain Temple
Langoni RdAbout
It is not surprising when you consider the age of Mombasa that the city is inhabited by diverse ethnicities. Asian and Arabic influences are the most dominant, which is evident for example in the city's fifty or so mosques and dozen Hindu and Sikh temples. The jewel in the crown of this area is the Jain Temple in the old part of the city. This exceptional sanctum dates from 1963 and is devoted to Jainism, an ancient Indian religion that has a certain affinity with Buddhism. The beautifully decorated entrance to the temple is in itself a sight you will never forget.
