Jain house temple
A house temple (Ghar Derasar or Griha Chaityalaya) is a Jain shrine that is placed within a personal residence.[1][2] Sometimes it is separate room or structure in a compound.
Jain scholars prescribe that the height of a pratima in a house shrine should not exceed 11 aṅgulas, i.e. about 21 cm.
The formal communal temple is often referred to as a shikharbandi Jinalaya, i.e. with a shikhara.
