The building outlined here is in fact the Sheesh Mahal and not the Kanch Mandir ("Glass temple") is the smaller adjacent structure next to it.
Sheesh Mahal, Rang Mahal (to the left of this structure) and Kanch Mahal are all magnificient Marble buildings that belong to Sir Seth Hukumchand and family.
The Kanch Mandir (Glass Temple) which is a jain mandir (temple) is a marvel in glass. This temple was built by the "Cotton King" Sir Hukamchand Seth in the early 20th century. The walls, ceiling, floor, pillars, doors are entirely inlaid with glass. The mirrorwork reflects minute detailing. There are paintings done in coloured glass which depict stories from Jain scriptures. At the top is a special glass chamber which multiplies the three statues of Lord Mahavir installed there, into an infinite number.
