My experience

I would highly recommend this place. If you are a traveler like me and you are having an interest in temple architecture then you must visit this place The Jain temple known for its marvelous architecture. It gives immense relief when entered into the temple. The beauty of the temple outside as well inside is amazing.

When you enter the premises then just the left side there is parking. This temple premise has a two-story museum and Yatri Nivas for Jain peoples. They also provide food at a cost of 50 rs. I didn’t check that food but someone telling us.
