Back Severe drought hits Gujarat
Vastupal and Tejpal two brothers, ministers of Solanki Raja Bhindev II of Gujarat built this temple in memory of their late brother Luna. The architect was Shobhandev. This temple is smaller than Vimal Vasahi but the ground plan and architecture is similar. This temple is far more in perfection and refinement.
During the recent repairs of the 52 cells in the corridor four were newly built (23 - 26) and (27 - 30) were renovated. In front of every cell the ceiling is divided into two sections with double row of columns and in each cell image of one or the other Jain Tirthankar or Devi is installed.
 

Hathishala (Elephant cell) :- 10 beautiful marble elephants of fine worksmanship, neatly polished and realistically modelled etc are the main attraction of this cell.

Ragmandap :- This is the main hall, where in the centre of the dome hangs a big ornamental pendent of beautiful carving. Arranged in a circular band 72 figures of Tirthankaras in sitting posture and just below this band 360 small figures of Jain monks in circular band are depicted.

Navchowki :- The most magnificient and delicate marble stone cutting work can be seen here. Each of the nine ceilings exceed the other.

Gudha Mandap :- Black marble idol of 22nd Jain Tirthankara Neminath is installed here.

Kirthi Stambha :- A big black stone pillar 'Kirthi Stambha' stands on the left side of Tirthankar temple. It was constructed by Maharana Kumbha of Mewar

Small cell :- There is a small cell, in between the trees, dedicated to the worship of foot-prints of 'Dada Sahib' Jain Acharaya Shri Jindutt Suri.
