JAIN TEMPLES
Osiyan

Admiring the view of Osiyan and the desert beyond from the platform outside the main Sachiya Mata Temple. A small temple dedicated to Laxminarayan is located next to the platform. Some say that the blue-painted houses are occupied by Brahmins (members of the priest caste which is the highest Hindu caste) However, others say that the houses are painted blue to keep away the mosquitos.
