This temple complex has four large temples. These temples are a marvel of beauty. Astonishing art work on stone. There is not an inch of space that is not sculpted (in the original stone work).

It is a worthy sculptural monument that one should not miss during their visit to Mount Abu, if one wants to have a minute look, he needs hours of visit to see each and every piece of sculpture that has no replica at where else in the same complex

This temple was breathtaking. The intricate designs makes one wonder about the craftsmanship that existed so many years back.. Must visit.
