Upon your arrival, take in the frontal view of the temple that rises majestically above a flight of steps. The temple is four-faced and opens up to the four cardinal directions of the cosmos. It has 29 halls and 80 domes. The temple is dedicated to Adinath, the first Jain Tirthankara.
No two pillars are alike and they are erected in such a manner that the central shrine of the temple is still visible from all corners of the temple.
The interior walls are covered with intricately designed carvings. Do not miss the beautiful carving of 108 heads of a snake made from a single marble rock. In the prayer hall you will find two large bells, each weighing 238 pounds.
