The Rang Mandap (shading canopy) at Palitana embodies a delicate balance between restoration and innovation, enhancing pilgrim comfort while preserving architectural sanctity. This column-free, tensile canopy seamlessly integrates with the temple complex, ensuring uninterrupted darshan of the Shikhar (spire) and sky. Its lightweight, durable design shields devotees from the elements while optimizing natural light and ventilation. Following a minimalistic approach, it harmonizes with existing structures, respecting the sacred space and ensuring the temples remain the focal point of the campus.
