The Sri Digambar Jain Lal Temple was visited by Jain Monk Acharya Shantisagar in 1931 who was known as the first ever Digambar Jain Priest to visit Delhi after a period of 8 centuries and hence a memorial was also established within the temple premise to mark this auspicious event.

Old Delhi was founded by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (1628-1658) who built what is commonly known as the old city or walled city, surrounded by a wall, with the main street Chandni Chowk in front of the Red Fort, the imperial residence.

During the Mughal period, the construction of a shikhara for a temple was not permitted. This temple did not have a formal shikhara until after India`s independence when the temple was extensively rebuilt.
