The temple sculpture of Rajasthan mirrors the brilliant craftsmanship of the age. However the Rajput architecture was a little late in gathering momentum. It was not before the 8th century that the temple sculpture of Rajasthan flourished. The Rajput kings were practised religious tolerance. As a result a number of Jain temples are simultaneously found with the Hindu temples.

The features of Rajput sculptures have been greatly influenced by the Mughal sculptures and architectures. Hence the building materials are quite similar. Marble was widely used for construction of temples. As far as the Jain temples are concerned here, too, white marble was used as it is considered pristine. One of the finest specimens of Jain temples in Rajasthan is the Dilwara Jain Temple. The sculpture of Dilwara Jain Temple is famous for its elaborate details. White marble is also used for the sculpture of Birla Mandir. There are temples in Pushkar, Udaipur, Chittorgarh and other cities.

Most of the Hindu temples are dedicated to Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna. The Rajputs also worshipped `Shakti` (mother goddess) in the forms of Goddess Parvati or Durga. The Hindu temple sculptures comprise the beautifully decorated pillars of the mandapas. The architectural elements of these temples include an inner chamber, pillars, mandapas and shikharas. A flight of stairs lead to the inner chamber.
