Dehra Temple, Bhond

Dehra Temple is a Hindu-Jain temple in the forested Aravalli foothills at Bhond village in Haryana's Nuh district, 2 km to the west of Ferozepur Jhirka. The first temple here dates from the 10th century, and an inscription of 1451 CE (Samvat 1508) sits above the entrance to the pillared hall. Its architecture blends Hindu forms with the Lodhi style of the Delhi Sultanate. It is a state protected monument.

Raised on a plinth and entered through a stepped, arched gateway with chambers on both sides and a narrow stair to its top, the temple has three sanctums for Jain tirthankaras, a pillared prayer hall with four elephant figures over its door, and a walled circumambulatory path. An underground chamber lies east of the outer wall. The tirthankara images and a Shiva linga were later moved to the Jain temple in Ferozepur Jhirka. After years of neglect, the Haryana government began restoring the temple in 2024 using lime mortar and red sandstone, and it is now fenced and guarded.
