This is 14th century Jain temple complex was built by Parihar dynasty. Here nearly 12 temples are in ruin conditions. few are in good conditions where Archaeology Department and state government have taken steps to restore it. Main temple of complex is called "Lakhena na Dera" or "Bhavan Jinalay". It is the only jain temple in the world where you fine a statue of Lord Krishna, six types of swastikas, statue of violance (wrestler's fighting) and built as per human body.
One temple have "Kund" (Water Storage sturcture). I had spent nearly 14 years in this area and documented whole area about History, Archaeology, Anthropology, Wildlife including Flora.
King of Polo forest HH Shri Harshwardhansinji is respected friend of mine. He is noble and knowledgeable, managing his own resort at Kadoli farm.

  • Hello friends, I am Mayur Rathod, ( My cell number : 09426506994) I have spend nearly 14 years in this area, and documented whole area (Polo Forest). It is painful to me that on this particular site and map, i write history and other information but some demon or evil spirit canceled or delet my name and everything. really pity on him/her. shame on their attitude and sense of Jealousy...God bless them..
