|
 The Architecture of the temple boast detailed carvings, and decorative paintwork in the ante-chambers that surrounding the main shrine to the Parshvanath, the twenty-third tirthankara.
The Bird's Charity Hospital:
The temple premises house a unique medical center for birds, the Birds' Charity Hospital. Free treatment is given here, which draws inspiration from the message of 'Live and let Live' given by Lord Mahavir, the twenty-fourth Tirthankara of the Jains. It serves as a rescue sanctuary for partridges, caught and wounded by fowlers and bought in bulk by Jain merchants who bring them here to recover, and there are separate wards for pigeons, parrots, sparrows and domestic fowl. Squirrels, who will not hurt the birds, are also treated here, but birds of prey are seen on a strictly outpatient basis, as they are not vegetarian.
The Temple is managed by Shree Agarwala Digambar Jain Panchyat Trust.
