Baraut is home to a wide range of religious faiths. As such, there are many Hindu and Jain temples and Mosques in and around the city. There are thirty-two temples, forty Mosques, one gurudwaras and two churches in the region. One of the biggest temples in the area is the Digamber Jain Bara Mandir. One of the oldest temples, said to be hundreds of years old, is considered very important to the Jains of the town.
