The Jain Temple in Bodh Gaya is praised for its mesmerizing architecture and its convenient location near transport hubs. It offers very affordable accommodation, though the Dharamshala has basic amenities like common washrooms. Some guests note a lack of mobile signal in rooms.
"A cheap stay

Not maintained at all
Just ok for one night"
Ashish Jain
"This is the only Jain Dharamshala in Gaya city near the railway station or bus station. There are common washrooms for all the rooms in Dharamshala. Good for one day stay. However, the jain temple outside is mesmerizing and awesome. For jain food you can visit restaurants located at the square just before the temple."

"Rooms are cheap and clean. Very well maintained at this low price. Temple is outside of dharmshala. They also arrange food if we order before 1-2 hour. Only drawback is toilets and washroom are outside of room but they are also maintained and clean. Overall one can stay one night easily if planning to visit gaya. I payed 300 for one room."
