Gavin Thomas, in his book, "The Rough Guide to Rajasthan, Delhi & Agra" (2010, p. 257), writes on Nareli Jain Temple:<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=73JeO1w9Qi8C&q=nareli+jain&pg=PA257 |title=The Rough Guide to Rajasthan, Delhi & Agra - Gavin Thomas - Google Books |date= 20 September 2010|isbn=9781405386883 |access-date=2012-05-19|last1=Thomas |first1=Gavin }}</ref>

:"There's another striking monument to the Jain faith some 7km southeast of Ajmer on the Jaipur bypass, the angular modern Nareli Temple, a striking edifice mixing traditional and contemporary architectural styles to somewhat quirky effect, with 23 further miniature temples lined up on the hill above."

The other Jain temple that the author talks about is the [[Ajmer Jain Temple]].

==Transportation==
*Road-
It lies on the main national highway no. 8 which is a 6 lane expressway from Jaipur onwards and connects the Delhi-Ajmer-Mumbai. Autos and taxis are available from Ajmer and nearby towns.

*Rail-
Nearest railway station is Ajmer junction which is an important railway junction with broad gauge lines.

*Air-
Presently the nearest airport is the Kishangarh Airport but it has limited connectivity. The next best option is Jaipur International Airport, which is about 125 km away, with daily flights to the major cities in India and certain international flights.
