About deity
[edit]The Jain temple was possibly constructed in 1451 CE (Samvat 1508) as can be inferred from an inscription fixed on the upper portion of the entrance of the pillared hall (Sabhamandapa) of the temple. This temple consists of three sanctumsanctorums for the three Jain Tirthankars; a pillared hall and a circumambulatory path (Pradakshinapath). The temple architecture appears to be heavily influenced by then prevailing Lodhi style of architecture.
The temple had the deity image of Thirthankra. Later it was removed and placed it in the Jaina Temple at Firozpur Jhirka.[2]
