  • Ruins of dozen temples have been located, in which symbols of Shiva temples, Vishnu temples and other temples could be identified at the location near the old Jain temple. The ruins suggest that these temples would be of the Parmara-era that may have been destroyed by some reason. Historians believe that areas around the State capital were ruled by the Parmara King Bhoj and these ruins would definitely have been under his protection. Apart from Hindu, temples, ruins of Jain temples could also be easily identified. There are two old water ponds/ well near the site.
