St. Louis Jain temple
The 1904 St. Louis Jain temple is a historic structure that was constructed for the 1904 St. Louis World’s fairs, termed "Louisiana Purchase Exposition". It was the first building in USA designated as a Jain Temple, since it was a replica of a Jain temple in India, although there were no Jains in USA at that time.〔Watts, Tim J. "Religion, Indian American". In 〕 It later stood in Las Vegas where some members of the Los Angeles Jain community discovered it in 1980. It now stands within the Jain Center of Southern California in Los Angeles.〔Jains Want Their Shrine Miami News, May 22, 1981〕
==Louisiana Purchase Exposition==
At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition it stood within the India pavilion. It was described thus:〔The universal exposition of 1904, Volume 1 By David Rowland Francis, Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. (Saint Louis, Mo.), 1913.〕
"The pavilion, a reproduction of the famous mosque of Itmad-ul-Dowlah at Agra, India, was much admired, as were the interior decorations and exhibits. Rising from the center of the court was a Jain temple of teakwood .., being a copy of a white marble temple eight times as large at Palitana, Central India. The reproduction represented two years' work of sixty-five artists and was made expressly for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.”
After the exposition, the temple was dismantled, but was not shipped back to India as originally planned.
