excellence can create. The temple is constructed on an

domes and towers, courtyards and cells, each with a
pyramidal roof. These 500 year old temples have been

shrines with 80 spires supported by 420 columns. The
entire temple is encircled with corridor having
Tirthankara images. A small shrine of Lord Parsvanth in
front of the main temple, has a black image of the
tirthankara in the inner sanctum. |
