Kumbhariya group of Jain temples dates back to the Solanki period
(11th to 12th century). The five temples are dedicated to Mahavira,
Shantinath, Parshwanath, Neminath and Sambhavnath. The temples have
main shrine in the centre of a rectangular courtyard, formed by
a series of shrines with shikhars, dedicated to Jain Tirthankaras.
