The Hutheesing Temple, located just outside the Delhi Darwaza in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is a prominent Jain place of worship built in 1848. It was commissioned by the affluent merchant Hutheesing Kesarisinh, and after his death at 49, the construction was carried forward and completed by his wife, Harkunwar. The project, overseen by the architect Premchand Salat, cost around ₹10 lakh at the time—an amount equivalent to ₹75 crore at this time.
The temple’s design reflects a fusion of the traditional Māru-Gurjara style and features reminiscent of wooden havelis, such as ornate balconies, intricately carved balustrades, jalis, and decorative chabutras. The entrance porch incorporates these haveli elements seamlessly into the marble structure. Stylistically, it shares architectural features with temples like Bhadreshwar and Ranakpur.
