This is an ancient structure and is in the form of a typical ancient temple with the Navaranga, Sukanasi and Garbagriha. In the navaranga are placed the peetha/seat and the paduka of the Bhattaraka. On the right side of Navaranga are found two black coloured stone idols of Lord Parshwanatha, one of these idols is in kayotsarga and is very ancient and the other is a new idol in padmasana. To the left of the Navaranga is found an ancient black coloured idol of Lord Parshwanatha in Kayotsarga. This idol is considered as the only one of its kind in the world as it has the figures of two humans troubling Lord Parshwnanatha while in meditation and the same humans have bowed down to Lord Parshwanatha on either sides of the feet. The main deity of the temple is the 4 feet high idol of Lord Parshwanatha in Padmasana. This idol is flanked by Chamaradharis on either side.
