Kanch Mandir
Kanch Mandir (Glass Temple) is a Jain temple in Indore built almost entirely from glass and mirrors, walls, ceilings, and decorative elements throughout the interior are covered in intricate glasswork and mirror mosaics, creating a dazzling, reflective effect. It's a lesser-known but genuinely striking site, quite different in character from typical stone or marble temples elsewhere in India.
It's a compact visit, but the density and craftsmanship of the glasswork rewards a slow look, and it's an easy, worthwhile addition to an Indore city itinerary.
