[[File:Jindaiji.jpg|right|thumb|320px|The [[Hotta clan]] graveyard at Jindai-ji]]
*''Founded: [[1615]], [[Jigen Daishi]]''
*''Japanese'': 甚大寺 ''(jindai-ji)''
Jindai-ji is a [[Tendai]] temple in [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]]. It is the family temple (''bodaiji'') of the [[Hotta clan]], lords of [[Sakura han]], and is the site of the graves of the clan's heads. The temple also houses a shrine to [[Bishamonten]], one of the Sakura [[Seven Lucky Gods]].
The temple was originally established in [[1615]] in the castle town of [[Yamagata castle|Yamagata]], by [[Jigen Daishi]]. A branch temple of [[Enryaku-ji]], it was revived in [[1701]] with [[Yamagata han]] ''daimyô'' [[Hotta Masatora]] as the "founder." The temple was then moved to its current location in Sakura in [[1746]]/8 by [[Hotta Masasuke]], when the Hotta clan was moved from Yamagata to Sakura.
The chief object of worship is an eleven-headed [[Kannon]] which was originally a personal object of devotion of the final lord of Sakura, [[Hotta Masatomo]]. It was sculpted by a Sakura local, Tsuda Nobuo.
The former ''hondô'' (main hall) of the temple was destroyed in a fire in the early [[Meiji period]]; the current hall, originally built in [[1726]], was moved from Namegawa Ryûshô-in (elsewhere in [[Shimousa province]]) to Jindai-ji in 1961.
