Historically important place for Jainism. Some connection with life of lord mahaveer. Very small temple not well maintained. There is an old Dharamshala also manager Mr Sunil Jain trying his best to help all the pilgrims his family is also staying here. Displays needs financial help and maintenance management by Jain community
Even though surrounded by illegal encroachmens, Jain society is trying to maintain the place in a better way. But still the surroundings are dirty enough to repel the tourist away from this Sacred place. Local residents have illegally occupied the property of the temple, they are using the pond as cultivated land and state government is inactive here.
This is very religious place and we get peace
According to Jain scholar Balbhadra Jain's compendium of Digambar Jain shrines in India, the temple was constructed during the reign of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Balbhadra Jain states that a Jain officer of the Mughal army is said to have kept a tirthankara statue in his tent for personal worship. The tent gradually started attracting other Jain army officers, and subsequently, a Jain temple was constructed at the site in 1656. At that time, the temple was also known as "Urdu temple" (because it was located in an area called "Urdu Bazaar") and "Lashkari Mandir" (laskhar means an army camp). Balbhadra Jain also mentions that there are several legends about the temple. One such legend claims that Shah Jahan's successor Aurangzeb once ordered a ban on all musical instruments in the temple. However, miraculously, sounds of drums (nagadas) would be heard emanating from the temple despite inspections from the Mughal officers. Aurganzeb himself visited the temple to see the miracle, and finally, lifted the ban.[3]
The present-day temple buildings were constructed after the fall of the Mughal Empire, and date from 1878

A unique and an ient Shiva Mandir situated in the Vaishali . It is around 6 kms. from the ruins of the fort of k8ng Vishal of Vaishali. The chaturmukh Shivaling is situated around 10 feet underneath.
This place is public area to relax and feel freely and also special place for Buddhists. Hundreds years ago, the ancient kings keep and store the Lord Buddha's remaining holy pieces in here and they built a stupa that dedicated to Buddha. So, you can
Amazing, but Bihar government don't seems interested in maintaining these places. ASI also not maintaining this gem.
