Beautiful rock cut made temple. Fantastic ambience. Nice view from all angles. Don't miss to see all side. Two ponds are there. One in front of temple other one is opposite

Good place for relaxation... You have to walk a short distance from the bottom to reach the Jain temple. There is a wide paved road leading to the temple. There are shade trees above. A very beautiful view can be enjoyed from the top. It is possible to walk on all sides of the temple. There is a pool right there and beyond that there is a wide rock and a very scenic view. Many people choose this place for photo shoot. Evenings are the best time to travel, when the heat of the sun is less and there is a good breeze. The site is maintained by the Central Government Department of Archaeology. I loved this place
